研究概览
简要总结
A quasi-experimental pre-post intervention design will be employed in the same four cities. Physicians from the institutions involved in Objective 1 will be invited to participate in a self-directed educational intervention comprising six video modules (total ~2 hours) aligned with MoHFW guidelines. The modules will cover transmission, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of influenza, and will be hosted online. Pre- and post-test assessments will be embedded within the platform, followed by a repeat survey at 6 months. Uptake and changes in knowledge and practices will be analyzed using generalized linear models with mixed effects, with stratified and sensitivity analyses for robustness. Per-protocol and intention-to-treat analyses will assess intervention impact.

结局指标
主要结局
Adherence to diagnostic guidelines (e.g., use of RT-PCR for SARI patients), therapeutic practices (e.g., prescription of antivirals for influenza-confirmed SARI cases), and vaccination practices (e.g., recommending and administering influenza vaccines to high-risk groups).
时间窗: Pre intervention, post intervention and 6 months post intervention
次要结局
- 1. Proportion of physicians from each department who undertake the intervention – This will provide insights into the acceptance and uptake of the educational module across different specialties.(2. Percent increase in knowledge and practice across three domains—diagnostics, therapeutics, and prevention – This will be evaluated using the difference in pre-test and post-test scores, which will be embedded within the training program. Improvements in these scores will reflect the intervention’s success in enhancing physicians’ understanding of influenza management.)
