By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaNov 29 2022Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in BMC Public Health, researchers evaluated the impact of MomsTalkShots, a personalized application, on maternal attitudes toward vaccinations.
MomsTalkShots represented a patient-level constituent of a multilayer intervention for improving the uptake of vaccines among mothers and infants that comprised practice- and provider-scale health interventions. The practice-scale health interventions were based on the CDC AFIX model. The provider-scale health interventions were based on the CME VaxChat module and a book on the vaccine safety of clinicians.
The application began with user registration, followed by a survey, and education-oriented videos responsive algorithmically to the users’ vaccine KABs, demographics, and intentions. The videos imparted information from pediatricians and obstetricians with animated narrations and were designed based on reportedly effective approaches to improve vaccine discussions of healthcare providers with their patients.
Results Out of 3,904 pregnant females initially considered eligible, 1,391 were unwilling to participate, and 303 women did not complete the enrollment process. As a result, 2,087 pregnant women were considered for the final analysis. Among the participants, 1,524 and 1,117 filled out the first and second follow-up surveys, respectively. Fifty-six percent of the participants intended to get vaccinated for Tdap and influenza during pregnancy.
