简要总结
This study aims to study the barriers to flu vaccination among at-risk people at the Primary Health Care level in order to increase the vaccination rates as recommended by the World Health Organization.
详细描述
People from vulnerable groups (e.g., those diagnosed with Diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Asthma) are at increased risk of developing complications from infection with influenza virus, that could ultimately result in death.
Flu vaccination is recommended by many authorities, including the World Health Organization, as a means to decrease the risk of developing such life-threatening conditions. However, vaccination rates are well below the recommended threshold.

研究组 & 干预措施
Patients receiving information
Patients in the experimental arm will receive a brief educational intervention if they initially refuse flu vaccination. The intervention was designed towards the most common barriers to flu vaccination that were found after a brief review of the literature. After the intervention, patients will be asked again whether or not they wish to receive the flu vaccine.
干预措施: Brief educational intervention (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局

Percentage of patients refusing flu vaccination prior to intervention
次要结局
- Prevalence of barriers to flu vaccination(up to 6 months)
- Flu vaccination acceptance rate post-intervention(up to 6 months)
- Flu vaccination rate(up to 6 months)
