Vaccine Adverse Reaction Vaccination; Complications Fear | Other: Multi-faceted knowledge translation intervention | Not Applicable |
Vaccination hesitancy is identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of ten threats to global health. The WHO's 3C model of vaccination hesitancy identifies 3 domains of vaccine hesitancy: 1) Confidence (trust in health care providers), 2) Complacency (perceived importance of vaccine-preventable disease) and 3) Convenience (improving clinic processes). The investigators developed a multifaceted knowledge translation intervention that addresses vaccination hesitancy in school-based vaccinations. The intervention is called The CARD(TM) System (C-Comfort, A-Ask, R-Relax, D-Distract). CARD is a framework for delivering vaccinations that is student-centred and promotes coping. CARD integrates evidence-based interventions related to planning and execution of school vaccination clinics to directly tackle all 3 domains of vaccination hesitancy. It tackles Confidence by improving pain/fear management (it teaches students and public health staff how to reduce student symptoms which improves the vaccination experience and improves student trust in health care providers). It tackles Complacency by educating students about what vaccines are, why they are needed, community immunity, as well as the specific diseases they are being protected against. It tackles Convenience by improving school-based clinic processes by integrating student preferences (e.g., privacy, having a support person present).
In this randomized controlled trial, the investigators will evaluate the impact of CARD (vs. usual care) on student important outcomes and process outcomes.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 1400 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Randomized controlled trial; schools will be randomized to CARD or usual care and all students attending the schools will receive the allocated treatment |
Masking: | Single (Participant) |
Masking Description: | Students will not be aware of whether they are in the intervention or control group. 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 trained in the intervention will not deliver care to participants in the control group and care providers that are not trained will not deliver care to participants in the intervention group |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | Playing CARDs to Improve the Vaccination Experience at School: a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial |

Estimated Primary Completion Date : | June 2020 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | August 2020 |

---|---|
Experimental: CARD (multi-faceted knowledge translation intervention)
CARD will be integrated into the school vaccination program. This includes pre-vaccination day preparation (e.g., planning of clinic spaces, student and school staff education about CARD) and vaccination day activities (e.g., clinic set-up, processes for triaging students, implementing pain/fear/fainting mitigation interventions from CARD during vaccination)
|
Other: Multi-faceted knowledge translation intervention
The intervention consists of education of relevant stakeholders of best practices and integration of best practices into the vaccination delivery program
Other Name: CARD
|
No Intervention: Control (standard/usual care)
There are no specific procedures being undertaken to plan or execute clinics. Usual practices will be instituted (i.e., no education specific to CARD, nor clinic set-up or execution to incorporate interventions for pain, fear or fainting)

Official Title ICMJE | Playing CARDs to Improve the Vaccination Experience at School: a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial | ||||
Brief Summary | Vaccination hesitancy is identified as a threat to global health by the World Health Organization (WHO). For adolescents undergoing vaccination at school, prior studies demonstrate that concerns about pain and/or fear of needles contribute to negative experiences with vaccination and non-compliance with vaccination. The investigators developed an intervention that addresses vaccination hesitancy. In this study, investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention in a randomized controlled trial. | ||||
