Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Digital Flu Intervention for People With Cardiovascular Conditions (NCT NCT04584645)

NCT ID: NCT04584645

Last Updated: 2022-06-21

Results Overview

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.

Participant Flow

A set of existing Achievement members who previously reported meeting the inclusion criteria were tagged for study inclusion. These participants were randomized using block randomization before being offered the opportunity to complete any study activities. Participants were sent offers via the Achievement platform to complete study activities. Participants could complete any number of survey activities. Completion of intervention activities was not required for enrollment for the CVD-I group.
