Trial Outcomes & Findings for Improving Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake Using an mHealth Tool (NCT NCT05386355)

NCT ID: NCT05386355

Last Updated: 2025-03-11

Results Overview

Initiation and completion of the COVID-19 vaccine series during the 24-week intervention period. Vaccine series completion will be per ACIP guidance for the vaccine product. For children who receive a product that requires more than 2 doses for the primary series, receipt of up to 3 doses will be considered complete. Vaccine doses will be valid if given within 24-week study intervention. Additional doses for primary series completion will be valid if they are in accordance with ACIP-recommended interval minus a 4-day grace period. There will be no maximum interval between valid doses. An incorrect second vaccine product (i.e., mixed series) will be invalid. The statistical team will use a mixed model with the binomial distribution and the logit link to compare the two intervention groups and the proportions of children who complete COVID-19 vaccination, using a site random effect and controlling for clustering by caregiver.

Participant Flow

The protocol enrollment number of 727 represent the total number of parents/caregivers that were enrolled and randomized. For the study the unit of randomization is the parent/caregiver. The primary and secondary outcomes of interest, vaccine series completion and vaccine series initiation, were collected at the children level. Among these 727 parents/caregivers, there was a total of 1,207 children enrolled.

Vaccine Uptake App: Parents/Caregivers
24-week (8 weeks with weekly push notifications; 2 monthly push notifications for 2 months \[1 notification per month\]; 8 weeks without) exposure to a mobile phone application (app) designed to improve parental knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding pediatric COVID-19 vaccination. The app will address logistical and motivational barriers to pediatric COVID-19 vaccination. Participants will also receive eight weekly nudges and 1 monthly nudge for 2 months (cues to action) regarding vaccinating their child that will be sent to participants via push notifications to their mobile devices. Through branching logic, users will access content tailored to their COVID-19 vaccine knowledge and confidence gaps, locality, degree of rural-urban primary residence, primary language (English/Spanish), race/ethnicity, and child's age. COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake App: A mHealth mobile application (app) that will provide educational and logistical information about the COVID-19 vaccination for children. The target audience will be parents of unvaccinated children.
General Health App: Parents/Caregivers
24-week (8 with weekly push notifications; 2 monthly push notifications for 2 months \[1 notification per month\]; 8 weeks without) exposure to a mobile phone app designed to provide information on general pediatric health and infection prevention and mitigation strategies based on recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Eight weekly nudges and 1 monthly nudge for 2 months regarding these topics will be sent to participants via push notifications to their mobile devices.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 24

Population: Randomization was at the parent/caregiver level; however, the unit of analysis for the primary (vaccine series completion) and secondary (vaccine series initiation) are at the children level. There were total of 1205 children (Vaccine Uptake N=611 and General Health N=595). Among the 1205, the vaccine completion outcome contained 11 missing observations (5 from Vaccine Uptake and 6 from General Health group).

Initiation and completion of the COVID-19 vaccine series during the 24-week intervention period. Vaccine series completion will be per ACIP guidance for the vaccine product. For children who receive a product that requires more than 2 doses for the primary series, receipt of up to 3 doses will be considered complete. Vaccine doses will be valid if given within 24-week study intervention. Additional doses for primary series completion will be valid if they are in accordance with ACIP-recommended interval minus a 4-day grace period. There will be no maximum interval between valid doses. An incorrect second vaccine product (i.e., mixed series) will be invalid. The statistical team will use a mixed model with the binomial distribution and the logit link to compare the two intervention groups and the proportions of children who complete COVID-19 vaccination, using a site random effect and controlling for clustering by caregiver.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 24

Population: Randomization was at the parent/caregiver level; however, the unit of analysis for the primary (vaccine series completion) and secondary (vaccine series initiation) are at the children level. There were total of 1205 children (Vaccine Uptake N=611 and General Health N=595). Among the 1205, the vaccine completion outcome contained 11 missing observations (5 from Vaccine Uptake and 6 from General Health group).

For each vaccine-eligible child, this secondary endpoint will be defined as whether or not the child initiates the COVID-19 vaccine series during the 16 weeks of study participation. Vaccine series initiation will be receipt of at least 1 valid dose of any COVID-19 vaccine product. Vaccine doses for series initiation will only be valid for study purposes if given within the 16 weeks of study participation. The statistical team will use a mixed model with the binomial distribution and the logit link to compare the two intervention groups with respect to the proportions of children who initiate COVID-19 vaccination, using site as a random effect and controlling for clustering by caregiver.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 16 weeks

Population: The vaccine hesitancy secondary outcome is analyzed at the parent/caregiver level. Among the 725 parent/caregiver randomized, a total of 512 parent/caregiver completed the baseline survey.

The Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) working group on vaccine hesitancy developed a vaccine hesitancy measure, the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (VHS). The study team will evaluate parental attitude toward pediatric COVID-19 vaccination by using the vaccine hesitancy questionnaire that includes ten statements with ordinal responses using a 5-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree,...,5=strongly agree). A composite vaccine hesitancy score was computed based on the sum of the 10 items after reverse coding items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 (range of 10 to 50). The reverse coding allowed for directionality uniformed across the 10 items; therefore, higher composite score indicated more hesitancy overall. We report summary statistics including means and standard deviation at baseline and week 16. A linear mixed mode was used to account for parent/caregivers nested within clinics and allow adjustment for baseline SAGE composite score.
