What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Targeted digital interventionOther
Messages that provide informational content on the influenza vaccine (sourced from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Heart Association), specific information about influenza and cardiovascular disorders, and behavioral prompts (e.g., reminders) surrounding influenza vaccination behaviors.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| cardiovascular disorders digital intervention arm (CVD-I) | Experimental | Individuals with cardiovascular disease who receive a targeted digital intervention aimed at increasing influenza vaccination Receives: Other: Targeted digital intervention |
| cardiovascular disorders without digital intervention arm | No intervention | Individuals with cardiovascular disease who receive no intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Self-reported Influenza Vaccination Status as Vaccinated
To determine the effectiveness of a digital intervention designed to increase influenza vaccination rates in individuals with cardiovascular diagnoses (CV diagnoses) by examining differences in self-reported influenza vaccination rates between individuals with cardiovascular disease who receive a targeted digital intervention (CVD-I) aimed at increasing influenza vaccination and those with CV diagnoses who received no intervention (CVD-C) by the end of the study period.
Measured: Up to 7 months
Secondary outcomes (3)
Number of Participants With Self-reported Influenza Vaccination Status as Vaccinated
Differences in rates of self-reported influenza vaccination status after study start between individuals in the intervention group that completed different numbers of intervention messages (0 to 6 messages) over the course of the study
Measured: Up to 7 months
Participant Completion Rate
Differences in completion rates of specific intervention types by individuals in the group receiving the targeted intervention
Measured: Up to 7 months
Self-Reported Influenza Vaccination Status Prediction
Development of a logistic regression model to predict self-reported influenza vaccination status using vaccination predictors such as vaccine drivers/barriers, and vaccine knowledge.
Measured: Up to 7 months

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 May 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Participants With Self-reported Influenza Vaccination Status as Vaccinated (time frame: Up to 7 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04584645, which also lists 15 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jun 2022.
