Indiana University2,855 enrolled

Overview

Supported be a digital vaccine registry the investigators will test the impact of automated appointment reminders, real time appointment reminders, motivational interviewing and targeted vaccine on routine childhood vaccine completion rates.

Bundling three high-impact mHealth interventions (a digital vaccine registry (supply side), a reminder system (demand side), and targeted vaccine drive (demand and supply-side) will be feasible, acceptable, carried out with fidelity, and result in a 10% improvement in vaccine completion rates compared to the year prior to implementation.

Time frame: 15 Months

Measles vaccine completion rate

The proportion of enrolled subjects who complete the measles vaccine series when assessed at 15 months of age.

Time frame: 15 Months

Number of eligible subjects enrolled

Vaccine clinic records will be reviewed to identify the total number of eligible patients in the clinic (defined as those presenting to the vaccine clinic with a child receiving their first vaccine) and the number who agreed to participate during the study period.

Time frame: 15 Months

Provider Adoption

A modified intervention acceptability, perception and system usability assessment using a Likert scale questionnaire.

Time frame: 15 Months

Protocol Adherence

The proportion of eligible subjects who received a real-time phone call reminder, counselling, and targeted vaccine drive when indicated

Time frame: 15 Months

Project Cost

The cost of administering each component of the mHealth bundle will be documented, such as cost of targeted drive and cost of real time phone calls. This will assist in determining the cost to scale the project.
