Trial summary

Although most US adolescents visit their primary care doctor, their immunization rates are low. Primary care practices from two networks, one in upstate New York as well as a national network of pediatric clinics were surveyed to ask what they thought was the best strategy to increase immunization rates.

About this study

Official title: Adolescent Vaccination in the Medical Home

Although most US adolescents visit their primary care doctor, their immunization rates are low. Primary care practices from two networks, one in upstate New York as well as a national network of pediatric clinics were surveyed to ask what they thought was the best strategy to increase immunization rates. Point-of-care prompts (either by an electronic health record message or by a nurse) when an adolescent patient comes in for any type of visit and is due for a vaccine was chosen. This study will determine if these prompts will increase immunization rates after a 12-month intervention period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adolescent Immunization Rates

    Bivariate analysis will measure the overall change between the control and intervention groups. Vaccination rates will be summarized using descriptive statistics. As appropriate, two sample t-test or chi-square tests will be used to summarize patient level data. Odds ratio with associated 95% confidence interval will be reported within each of the 2 networks.

    Measured: One Year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Missed Opportunities

    A hierarchical logistic regression model will evaluate the intervention effect on rates of missed opportunities.

    Measured: One Year
