Brief Summary:
A 6-month prospective, digital randomized controlled trial targeting approximately 49,000 individuals to evaluate the effectiveness of an influenza vaccination intervention during influenza season for people with cardiovascular conditions

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cardiovascular Diseases Atrial Fibrillation Abnormal Heart Rhythms Cardiac Arrest Heart Attack Myocardial Infarction Coronary Heart Disease Heart Failure Stroke Cerebrovascular Accident Other: Targeted digital intervention Not Applicable

Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 49138 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single (Participant)
Masking Description: A set of existing Achievement members who have previously self-reported to meeting the inclusion criteria will be tagged for study inclusion, termed "participants". Since participants will be blinded to their study participation status, participants will not be asked to take any action to enroll in the study. In order to identify a target list of participants, Evidation Health will leverage already permissioned information from Achievement members, including data on their cardiovascular diagnoses, age, sex/gender, race/ethnicity, and country of residence.
Primary Purpose: Prevention
Official Title: Increasing Influenza Vaccination in Individuals With Cardiovascular Conditions: Assessing the Effectiveness of a Digital Intervention in a Decentralized Randomized Controlled Trial
Actual Study Start Date : September 21, 2020
Actual Primary Completion Date : April 12, 2021
Actual Study Completion Date : April 12, 2021

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: cardiovascular disorders digital intervention arm (CVD-I)
Individuals with cardiovascular disease who receive a targeted digital intervention aimed at increasing influenza vaccination
Other: Targeted digital intervention
Messages that provide informational content on the influenza vaccine (sourced from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Heart Association), specific information about influenza and cardiovascular disorders, and behavioral prompts (e.g., reminders) surrounding influenza vaccination behaviors.

No Intervention: cardiovascular disorders without digital intervention arm
Individuals with cardiovascular disease who receive no intervention



Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants With Self-reported Influenza Vaccination Status as Vaccinated [ Time Frame: Up to 7 months ]
    To determine the effectiveness of a digital intervention designed to increase influenza vaccination rates in individuals with cardiovascular diagnoses (CV diagnoses) by examining differences in self-reported influenza vaccination rates between individuals with cardiovascular disease who receive a targeted digital intervention (CVD-I) aimed at increasing influenza vaccination and those with CV diagnoses who received no intervention (CVD-C) by the end of the study period.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants With Self-reported Influenza Vaccination Status as Vaccinated [ Time Frame: Up to 7 months ]
    Differences in rates of self-reported influenza vaccination status after study start between individuals in the intervention group that completed different numbers of intervention messages (0 to 6 messages) over the course of the study

  2. Participant Completion Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 7 months ]
    Differences in completion rates of specific intervention types by individuals in the group receiving the targeted intervention

  3. Self-Reported Influenza Vaccination Status Prediction [ Time Frame: Up to 7 months ]
    Development of a logistic regression model to predict self-reported influenza vaccination status using vaccination predictors such as vaccine drivers/barriers, and vaccine knowledge.
