---|---|---|
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 |
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. |

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
|
- 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.
- 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
- 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
- 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.
