Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

COVID-19 vaccine acceptance

COVID-19 vaccine acceptance at 3 months is measured by a survey self-report survey item asking participants to rate the following statement on a 5-to Likert scale (from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree): "If I was not up-to-date with the COVID-19 vaccines recommended for me, I would get the missing vaccinations." This variable is dichotomized to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance (0 = strongly disagree/disagree/neutral; 1 = agree/strongly agree)

Time frame
Baseline and 3 months
2

COVID-19 vaccine uptake

COVID-19 vaccine uptake is defined based on information gathered by multiple sources combining data obtained from patient survey self-reports, EHR data, and Healthix data. We also confirm receipt of the vaccine by asking the participant to see their COVID-19 vaccination card. Vaccination extracted data is from Healthix, the largest Regional Health Information Organization (RHIO) and from a wide array of facilities providing vaccinations will be pulled, including hospitals, health centers, ambulatory care sites, community vaccination sites, and pharmacies.
