• 1 other identifier: 186564
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 79
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to determine whether a computer-based intervention that delivers individually-tailored educational messages about the MMR vaccine increases MMR vaccine-hesitant parents' intentions to have their children vaccinated.

Conditions

Measles; Mumps; Rubella; MMR Vaccination

Keywords

Measles; Mumps; Rubella; MMR; Prevention; Tailoring; Persuasive communication; Children

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Parent's intention to vaccinate child against MMR

  Parent will rate his/her intention to have child vaccinated against MMR using a Likert scale before and after the intervention.

  Date of intervention (one day)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Use of the intervention

  At the time of intervention participation

Study Arms (2)

Tailored information

EXPERIMENTAL

Individuals assigned to the experimental group will receive individually-tailored educational messages.

Other: Behavioral: Computer-based tailoring system

Untailored information

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Individuals assigned to the control group will receive generic, untailored educational messages.

Other: Behavioral: Computer-based tailoring system

Interventions

Behavioral: Computer-based tailoring system OTHER

Both the intervention and control groups will use a computer-based tailoring system to respond to survey questions. The computer-based tailoring system will generate educational messages based on participants' responses to survey questions. The intervention group will receive tailored educational messages, whereas the control group will receive generic educational messages. The tailored and generic educational messages will be presented as to look like web pages. However, the messages will only exist on the study computer, and will not be linked to any "live" server or website.
