Brief Summary

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

Previous studies have shown that low-cost, behavioral nudges through texting can increase influenza vaccination uptake compared to usual care. However, there are limited studies that evaluate the effect of decreasing barriers to scheduling, especially within safety net populations. The setting for this study, DHS, is the second largest public delivery system in the country and serves approximately half a million diverse patients that are eligible for vaccinations annually. This pilot study (one arm in a larger randomized controlled trial) will examine the effect of text messages highlighting MediCal health plan transportation resources (vs standard text messaging) on influenza vaccination rates in adults during the 2022-2023 flu season.

Study Groups

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

Standard Texts

Patients randomized to this study arm will receive a standard text reminding them about the importance of influenza vaccination. The standard texts will include a clinic call back number and patient portal self-scheduling for patients to schedule their influenza vaccines:

#FirstName#, your flu shot is ready! Call your clinic at #ExternalRefNo# or visit the LA Health Portal at http://bit.ly/BookFluShot if you want this shot held for you.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Text messaging

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients will receive up to 3 text messages reminding them about the importance of influenza vaccination during the 2022-2023 flu season.

Standard Texts with Transportation messaging

Patients randomized to this study arm will receive standard texts plus transportation messaging including a phone number for patients to reserve transportation to a vaccination appointment based on MediCal health plan transportation resources:

#FirstName#, your flu shot is ready! Call your clinic at #ExternalRefNo# or visit the LA Health Portal at http://bit.ly/BookFluShot if you want this shot held for you. You can call #Health Plan Phone Number# to schedule a free ride for your flu shot through #HealthPlanName#.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
