Trial Outcomes & Findings for Impact and Cost of a Pharmacist Pneumococcal Vaccination Program With PNEUMOVAX® 23 at an Urban Senior Center (NCT NCT01944462)

NCT ID: NCT01944462

Last Updated: 2018-01-03

Results Overview

Change in knowledge and awareness of pneumococcal disease over time were assessed for the following domains: susceptibility to infection, symptoms of disease, severity of illness, and vaccination with an emphasis on vaccine efficacy, safety, and eligibility. Assessments at baseline, post-test (immediately following intervention), and 3 months using the Pneumonia Knowledge Questionnaire, an instrument developed by investigators to assess participants' knowledge and awareness in the domains of interest. Instrument consists of 5 "mark all that apply" items and one "mark the best response" item. Scores range from 0 (no correct responses) to 28 (all responses correct), with a higher score value corresponding to better knowledge and awareness.

Participant Flow

Recruitment and program coordination were completed from January to November 2014, through partnerships with local churches and senior centers.

Pre/post design (no groups). Inclusion criteria were age ≥50; able to attend a 1.5-hour session; cognitively intact (abbreviated mental test score ≥7); speak \& read English at ≥4th grade (ability to read a brief passage). Additionally, program attendees wishing to participate in the study signed consent forms prior to the start of the program.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, post-test, 3 months

Population: Intention-to-treat (ITT) sample

Change in knowledge and awareness of pneumococcal disease over time were assessed for the following domains: susceptibility to infection, symptoms of disease, severity of illness, and vaccination with an emphasis on vaccine efficacy, safety, and eligibility. Assessments at baseline, post-test (immediately following intervention), and 3 months using the Pneumonia Knowledge Questionnaire, an instrument developed by investigators to assess participants' knowledge and awareness in the domains of interest. Instrument consists of 5 "mark all that apply" items and one "mark the best response" item. Scores range from 0 (no correct responses) to 28 (all responses correct), with a higher score value corresponding to better knowledge and awareness.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, post-test (immediately following intervention), 3 months

Population: Intention-to-Treat (ITT) sample

Trust in pharmacists as vaccine providers were measured by comparing responses to the trust items in the baseline, post-test (immediately following intervention), and 3-month assessments. Trust items were coded on a 4-level Likert scale, with lower values corresponding to higher agreement with the trust statements (therefore a lower mean response indicates greater trust). Minimum possible score was 1 (indicating complete trust in pharmacists as vaccine providers) and maximum possible score was 4 (indicating complete lack of trust in pharmacists as vaccine providers).

Satisfaction with PPPP was measured as participants' overall satisfaction with the content of PPPP, extent to which the participant felt engaged, and belief that the program helped them learn about pneumonia and the vaccination.
