Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether implementation of a web-based educational intervention using a "vaccine information kiosk" placed in primary care practice waiting rooms can reach a large number of parents and have a measurable impact on adolescent vaccination rates, specifically for Tdap, HPV, meningococcal, and influenza vaccines.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Adolescents are a reservoir population for a variety of vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs). Despite this, adolescent vaccination rates lag substantially behind national goals of 80% coverage for adolescent vaccines set forth by Healthy People 2020. This has been particularly the case for the vaccines most recently recommended for adolescents, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV) and seasonal influenza (flu) vaccines; national coverage levels in 2010 for HPV were 32% (for series completion among females only) and 35% for flu vaccine. Uptake levels for the two other adolescent-targeted vaccines, tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) and meningococcal conjugate (MCV4) vaccines are currently at 69% and 63%, respectively.

A major barrier to increased adolescent vaccination levels is the lack of parental and provider recognition that an adolescent is due for vaccine doses. For providers, there are the dual challenges of getting adolescents to come in for annual preventive care visits and also minimizing "missed opportunities" for vaccination (i.e. clinical interactions with a patient where a needed vaccine could have been provided but was not). Reminder/recall systems are one mechanism to help address both of these challenges for providers while also informing parents about the need for adolescent vaccines.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Kiosk Users

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Vaccine Information Kiosk

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The study kiosk will remain in the waiting room of participating practices for the duration of the study. Interested parents will self-direct to the kiosk in the clinic waiting room either before or after their child's appointment. Following consent, parents will complete a survey that assesses socio-demographics, baseline vaccination intention, and vaccine-specific beliefs, attitudes and experiences. The kiosk will generate tailored educational messages about adolescent vaccines. Parents can utilize the kiosk as many times as they wish during the intervention period.
