Detailed Description

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

It is estimated that 1 out of 5 children and adults are not vaccinated because of concerns about pain and fear. The CARD (Comfort Ask Relax Distract) system is a new vaccine delivery system proven to reduce pain, fear and immunization stress-related responses. Improving the vaccination experiences of patients can improve attitudes about vaccination and increase vaccine acceptance.

The objective of this cluster randomized trial is to evaluate scaling of CARD across community pharmacies on patients vaccination symptoms, beliefs and attitudes and pharmacy staff beliefs and attitudes.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Cluster trial involving at least 24 community pharmacies allocated to CARD or control (standard care) in a 1:1 ratio. Eligible pharmacies belonging to Wholehealth Pharmacy Partners from across Ontario, Canada, will be included.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Outcome Assessors

Vaccine recipients will not be aware of whether they are in the intervention or control group or the objective of the trial. Care providers who are trained in the intervention are aware of the group allocation. They will not communicate with care providers not trained in the intervention. Care providers that are in the intervention pharmacies will not deliver care to participants in the control pharmacies and care providers in the control pharmacies will not deliver care in the intervention pharmacies. Vaccine recipients are rating the primary outcome.

Study Groups

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

CARD (multi-faceted intervention)

CARD will be integrated in the pharmacy vaccination process. This includes education, environment (e.g., clinic spaces), engagement (interactions), and evaluation (surveys/feedback).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CARD (Comfort Ask Relax Distract)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

CARD is a vaccine delivery framework/protocol to plan and deliver vaccinations

Control (standard care)

There are no specific procedures being undertaken to plan or execute vaccine clinics. Usual practices will be instituted by participating pharmacies.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
