Increasing COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake Through a Patient Navigation Intervention Among Underserved Populations

This project aimed to identify the facilitators and barriers to COVID-19 and Influenza vaccine uptake, as well as the factors influencing potential participation in future intervention research among underserved adult populations in San Diego county. This study originally included an intervention component which was removed due to several major logistical, and participant challenges in order to continue to enroll participants to complete the study survey and gain valuable information about the factors that can facilitate recruitment of study participants into future interventions studies. For example, questions were added to the survey regarding reasons why potential participants would or not participate in future interventions. This information will inform the development of future vaccination intervention studies.

本研究旨在明确圣地亚哥县服务欠缺成年人群体中，新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）疫苗与流感疫苗接种的促进因素和阻碍因素，以及影响其未来参与干预研究意愿的相关因素。本研究最初设置了干预模块，但因多项重大后勤及受试者相关难题而将其移除，以保障能够顺利招募受试者完成研究问卷，进而获取可用于指导未来干预研究受试者招募的宝贵信息。例如，本研究在问卷中新增了针对潜在受试者是否愿意参与未来干预研究的原因相关问题。该信息将为后续疫苗接种类干预研究的设计与开展提供重要参考。
