What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Targeted digital interventionOther

    Messages that provide informational content on the influenza vaccine (sourced from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Heart Association), specific information about influenza and cardiovascular disorders, and behavioral prompts (e.g., reminders) surrounding influenza vaccination behaviors.

Study groups in NCT04584645
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
cardiovascular disorders digital intervention arm (CVD-I)ExperimentalIndividuals with cardiovascular disease who receive a targeted digital intervention aimed at increasing influenza vaccination
Receives: Other: Targeted digital intervention
cardiovascular disorders without digital intervention armNo interventionIndividuals with cardiovascular disease who receive no intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Self-reported Influenza Vaccination Status as Vaccinated

    To determine the effectiveness of a digital intervention designed to increase influenza vaccination rates in individuals with cardiovascular diagnoses (CV diagnoses) by examining differences in self-reported influenza vaccination rates between individuals with cardiovascular disease who receive a targeted digital intervention (CVD-I) aimed at increasing influenza vaccination and those with CV diagnoses who received no intervention (CVD-C) by the end of the study period.

    Measured: Up to 7 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants With Self-reported Influenza Vaccination Status as Vaccinated

    Differences in rates of self-reported influenza vaccination status after study start between individuals in the intervention group that completed different numbers of intervention messages (0 to 6 messages) over the course of the study

    Measured: Up to 7 months

  2. Participant Completion Rate

    Differences in completion rates of specific intervention types by individuals in the group receiving the targeted intervention

    Measured: Up to 7 months

  3. Self-Reported Influenza Vaccination Status Prediction

    Development of a logistic regression model to predict self-reported influenza vaccination status using vaccination predictors such as vaccine drivers/barriers, and vaccine knowledge.

    Measured: Up to 7 months
