Vaccine Acceptance in Pregnant Minority Women

March 6, 2015 updated by: Saad B. Omer, PhD, Emory University
The purpose of study will be to test two vaccine education strategies to learn how they impact flu and pertussis (Tdap) vaccination rates and attitudes regarding vaccination during pregnancy after participating in the intervention. The education strategies will be based on the elaboration likelihood model (ELM). This model is based on experimental psychology and has been previously used to increase breast cancer screening rates. These education strategies will be delivered through routine prenatal care visits to black/African-American women in Atlanta.

Phase

Phase

The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: High Elaboration Video Arm
Women randomized to this arm will be exposed to a handheld/electronic tablet device-based video with detailed vaccine-related information designed to invoke a high level of attention to the message and thought (elaboration) while processing information.
Behavioral: Maternal Vaccine Education
It is assumed that the women will also receive vaccine education materials from the OB/GYN practices as part of routine care. The intervention for all three arms will be conducted during routine prenatal office visits. Participants will complete a baseline questionnaire to assess attitudes regarding vaccination and will then be randomized to one of three enrollment arms and will be exposed to an intervention designed to take no longer than 20 minutes, so that patients can complete it during the time they are waiting to be seen. While participants are completing the handheld/electronic tablet device-based intervention, the study recruiter will observe them and document dose exposure to the messages being presented. The enrolled women will be contacted a month after the expected date of delivery and a follow up interview will be conducted to ascertain their vaccination status for receipt of influenza vaccine in pregnancy and Tdap during pregnancy or immediately post-partum.
Experimental: High Elaboration Interactive Tutorial Arm
Women will be exposed to a handheld/electronic tablet device-based intervention designed to invoke a high level of attention to the message and thought (elaboration) while processing information through an interactive question/answer format.
Behavioral: Maternal Vaccine Education
It is assumed that the women will also receive vaccine education materials from the OB/GYN practices as part of routine care. The intervention for all three arms will be conducted during routine prenatal office visits. Participants will complete a baseline questionnaire to assess attitudes regarding vaccination and will then be randomized to one of three enrollment arms and will be exposed to an intervention designed to take no longer than 20 minutes, so that patients can complete it during the time they are waiting to be seen. While participants are completing the handheld/electronic tablet device-based intervention, the study recruiter will observe them and document dose exposure to the messages being presented. The enrolled women will be contacted a month after the expected date of delivery and a follow up interview will be conducted to ascertain their vaccination status for receipt of influenza vaccine in pregnancy and Tdap during pregnancy or immediately post-partum.
Placebo Comparator: Low Elaboration / Control Arm
Women randomized to the control arm will be provided standard CDC vaccine information statements that will likely lead to low elaboration information processing.
Behavioral: Maternal Vaccine Education
It is assumed that the women will also receive vaccine education materials from the OB/GYN practices as part of routine care. The intervention for all three arms will be conducted during routine prenatal office visits. Participants will complete a baseline questionnaire to assess attitudes regarding vaccination and will then be randomized to one of three enrollment arms and will be exposed to an intervention designed to take no longer than 20 minutes, so that patients can complete it during the time they are waiting to be seen. While participants are completing the handheld/electronic tablet device-based intervention, the study recruiter will observe them and document dose exposure to the messages being presented. The enrolled women will be contacted a month after the expected date of delivery and a follow up interview will be conducted to ascertain their vaccination status for receipt of influenza vaccine in pregnancy and Tdap during pregnancy or immediately post-partum.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Influenza vaccination rates in pregnancy
Time Frame: Baseline and one month after participant's expected date of delivery
Data on vaccination status will be collected from participants enrolled in the main phase of the study during follow up starting one month after the expected date of delivery. We will contact healthcare providers to obtain vaccination records for those who provide written consent to release their immunization records.
Baseline and one month after participant's expected date of delivery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Tdap vaccination rates in pregnancy
Time Frame: Baseline and one month after participant's expected date of delivery
Data on vaccination status will be collected from participants enrolled in the main phase of the study during follow up starting one month after the expected date of delivery. We will contact healthcare providers to obtain vaccination records for those who provide written consent to release their immunization records.
