This study has one primary objective and two secondary objectives, with an overall goal of understanding barriers to vaccination and vaccination confidence, so that effective interventional strategies can be further developed and tested to improve vaccination outcomes in a community healthcare setting.
The study will use a mixed methods approach, combining focus group discussion, virtual interviews with healthcare professionals, cross-sectional survey on vaccination attitude, and clinic-based intervention with a cluster randomized controlled trial design for the quantitative stage. They study will also follow up patients with interviews after the quantitative stage completes.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group intervention | Experimental | Six comparable general clinics (2 for pediatric care and 4 for adult primary care) from all MultiCare facilities will be selected to participate in the study. Half of the clinics will be in the Puget Sound Region and others in the Eastern Washington Areas. Allocation to the intervention will be based on randomization: one pediatric and two adult (Internal Medicine or Family Medicine) clinics will get the comprehensive intervention. |
|
| Standard care | No Intervention | The other three facilities will stay as the control under routine care. The three control group sites will have no additional interventional activities regarding vaccination, except for MultiCare's usual vaccine promotion practices (which the interventional clinics will have also). |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group intervention | Behavioral | An enhanced electronic reminder mechanism specialized on vaccines and actively highlight vaccine standing orders in the system. Set up a data benchmarks, so clinic managers or providers are able to aggregate immunization data, red flag missed opportunities, and facilitate modifying vaccine promotion plans. Other components:
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Vaccine confidence scale(s) | Vaccination attitude (confidence or hesitancy) measured by the following: For caregivers of 19-35 months children: Parent Attitudes about Childhood Vaccines Survey - Short Form (PACV-SF) and Emory Vaccine Confidence Index (EVCI); For caregivers of pediatric patients 3 years or older: Vaccination Confidence Scale (VCS) and EVCI; For adult patients: Vaccination Attitudes Examination Scale (VAX); For clinical workers/health professionals: VAX. | 6 months over vaccination attitude for each subpopulation |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Missed opportunities for vaccination (MOVs) | Well visit completion in the previous 12 months prior to baseline, and post-pre changes in adult patients; Well-child visit completion rate 12 months prior to baseline, and post-pre changes in 3-18 yo for the pediatric clinics; Total numbers of well clinic visits at baseline and changes over 6 months. | 6 months over vaccination attitude for each subpopulation |

Exclusion Criteria:
Quantitative study standards:
We will randomly (and) equally select clinics from 1) Puget Sound and 2) Eastern Washington areas. Since the intervention is on facility level (group intervention), instead of at patient level, blinding will also be impractical. We plan to use stratified random allocation within the pediatric (n1 = 2) or adult stratum (n2 = 4), to decide which sites will get the intervention.
