简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of culturally tailored social media campaigns and WhatsApp-based vaccine training for healthcare workers in increasing childhood routine and HPV vaccine confidence and uptake in mainly indigenous rural communities in Guatemala.
Main Research Questions:
- Does a culturally tailored social media campaign, deployed via Facebook and geographically targeting randomly assigned communities, increase childhood routine and HPV vaccine confidence and uptake in mainly indigenous rural communities in Guatemala?
- Does WhatsApp-based vaccine training for community healthcare workers increase vaccine uptake in these communities?
Participants in this study will be involved in the following tasks:
Community Healthcare Worker WhatsApp Training: Community healthcare workers will participate in WhatsApp training sessions to enhance their knowledge and skills related to vaccine education and communication.
Pre-Post Surveys: Surveys will be collected from individuals who are caretakers of children under 5 recruited from local health facilities. A total of 600 people will participate in the surveys (200 from each study arm and 200 pre-intervention). Surveys will be conducted in Spanish, K'iche', and Kaqchikel languages to compare vaccination uptake, hesitancy, and barriers/facilitators of vaccination.
Researchers will compare the groups receiving the social media campaign and WhatsApp training to those with no intervention to determine the effects on childhood routine and HPV vaccine confidence and uptake in indigenous rural communities in Guatemala.
详细描述
This clinical trial seeks to address the challenge of improving childhood routine and HPV vaccine confidence and uptake in mainly indigenous rural communities in Guatemala. The study is designed with three distinct study arms to assess the effectiveness of culturally tailored interventions. The interventions include a social media campaign delivered via Facebook, as well as WhatsApp-based vaccine training for community healthcare workers. The ultimate goal is to determine whether these interventions have a positive impact on vaccination rates and confidence in the target communities.
The clinical trial is organized into three arms. The first arm comprises four communities that will receive only the culturally tailored social media campaign, designed to increase childhood routine and HPV vaccine confidence and uptake. This campaign is specifically targeted at these communities through geographic targeting on Facebook. The second arm includes four communities that will receive both the social media campaign and WhatsApp-based vaccine training for community healthcare workers. Finally, the third arm, serving as the control group, consists of four communities where there will be no intervention.
The primary research questions guiding this clinical trial are as follows:
- Does the culturally tailored social media campaign, deployed via Facebook and geographically targeting randomly assigned communities, increase childhood routine and HPV vaccine confidence and uptake in mainly indigenous rural communities in Guatemala?
- Does WhatsApp-based vaccine training for community healthcare workers increase vaccine uptake in these communities?
In the second arm of the study, community healthcare workers will actively participate in WhatsApp training sessions. These sessions are designed to enhance their knowledge and communication skills related to vaccine education and advocacy. They will be encouraged to use the WhatsApp platform to engage in discussions, ask questions, and support one another in their efforts to effectively communicate the importance of childhood vaccinations with their patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Vaccination of children < 5 years
时间窗: 6 months
Health facility clinic data about vaccinations for key under 5 years of age vaccinations and HPV. We will measure overall coverage of routine childhood vaccines (defined as having completed all recommended vaccines by age), as well as coverage by individual vaccine type. Caregiver report of childhood vaccinations in the last 3 months, collected via in person survey (yes/no responses to questions about specific recent vaccines given the age of the child)
Hesitancy for vaccination
时间窗: 2 months after intervention
Caregiver report of childhood vaccination hesitancy, collected via in person survey. Collected using the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale, which has been validated in rural Guatemala for childhood vaccination
次要结局
- Vaccine knowledge(2 months after intervention)
