Testing the Use of Prompts to Increase Adolescent Immunization Rates

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Vaccine Preventable Diseases, Meningococcal Disease, Human Papillomavirus, Pertussis, Influenza

In brief

Although most US adolescents visit their primary care doctor, their immunization rates are low. Primary care practices from two networks, one in upstate New York as well as a national network of pediatric clinics were surveyed to ask what they thought was the best strategy to increase immunization rates. Point-of-care prompts (either by an electronic health record message or by a nurse) when an adolescent patient comes in for any type of visit and is due for a vaccine was chosen. This study will determine if these prompts will increase immunization rates after a 12-month intervention period.
