Brief Summary

The purpose of study will be to test two vaccine education strategies to learn how they impact flu and pertussis (Tdap) vaccination rates and attitudes regarding vaccination during pregnancy after participating in the intervention. The education strategies will be based on the elaboration likelihood model (ELM). This model is based on experimental psychology and has been previously used to increase breast cancer screening rates. These education strategies will be delivered through routine prenatal care visits to black/African-American women in Atlanta.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
High Elaboration Interactive Tutorial ArmMaternal Vaccine EducationWomen will be exposed to a handheld/electronic tablet device-based intervention designed to invoke a high level of attention to the message and thought (elaboration) while processing information through an interactive question/answer format.
Low Elaboration / Control ArmMaternal Vaccine EducationWomen randomized to the control arm will be provided standard CDC vaccine information statements that will likely lead to low elaboration information processing.
High Elaboration Video ArmMaternal Vaccine EducationWomen randomized to this arm will be exposed to a handheld/electronic tablet device-based video with detailed vaccine-related information designed to invoke a high level of attention to the message and thought (elaboration) while processing information.
