Summary

This trial proposes a culturally-grounded intervention to reduce vaccine hesitancy in Hispanic/Latino families & increase their children's COVID-19 vaccine uptake.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Hispanic parents or guardians of children under 18 who haven't had their COVID-19 vaccinations up to date. Participants must self-identify as Hispanic, be willing to communicate via text, and provide a photo of their child's immunization record.
What is being tested?
The study tests if digital storytelling can reduce vaccine hesitancy among Hispanic parents. It involves comparing the effects of receiving culturally-tailored stories about vaccines with just getting basic information.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on behavioral interventions like information sharing and storytelling, there are no direct medical side effects. However, participants may experience changes in attitudes towards vaccines.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Baseline and Digital Storytelling (DST)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Once participants complete the consent, they will be asked to complete a baseline assessment using the web-based data collection platform, Research Electronic Data Capture before the random assignment to DST arm. The intervention group participants will watch the four selected digital stories about COVID-19 vaccine experiences among Hispanic parents of children. Each story was made with voice, images, and sound (3-5 minutes each). Intervention group participants will complete the Time 2 (T2) online survey immediately after the DST intervention. Two months later, the investigators will contact all participants and ask them to complete another follow-up (T3) assessment of participants' vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19 vaccination behaviors (since T1 and T2).
Group II: Baseline and ControlActive Control2 Interventions
Once participants complete the consent, they will be asked to complete a baseline assessment using the web-based data collection platform, Research Electronic Data Capture before the random assignment to control arm. Control group participants will receive a CDC COVID-19 Vaccine Information Sheet appropriate for their child's age before completing the T2 assessment. Two months later, the investigators will contact all participants and ask them to complete another follow-up (T3) assessment of participants' vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19 vaccination behaviors (since T1 and T2).
