Effectiveness of Text Messaging Nudging to Increase Coverage of Influenza Vaccination Among Older Adults in Norway (InfluSMS Study): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Effectiveness of Text Messaging Nudging to Increase Coverage of Influenza Vaccination Among Older Adults in Norway (InfluSMS Study): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Vaccine hesitancy is a complex phenomenon that has several psychological components [18,19] that may be influenced by public health interventions that facilitate action and reduce barriers to uptake [20,21]. Behavioral nudges may improve compliance with the use of primary health care services [22], including influenza vaccination uptake among older adults [23]. However, the effectiveness of nudging varies substantially by mode, content, and population [24].

Access to Health Care and Use of Health Care Services Among Males in Africa: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Access to Health Care and Use of Health Care Services Among Males in Africa: Protocol for a Scoping Review

But, within the ambit of our study, we first have to ascertain what strategies have the most reasonable chance of uptake to be able to speculate on the benefits of males engaging in health-seeking practices.

Natural Language Processing–Powered Real-Time Monitoring Solution for Vaccine Sentiments and Hesitancy on Social Media: System Development and Validation

Natural Language Processing–Powered Real-Time Monitoring Solution for Vaccine Sentiments and Hesitancy on Social Media: System Development and Validation

Yet, despite their value, vaccine hesitancy persists as a barrier to full vaccine uptake. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines vaccine hesitancy as the delay or refusal of vaccination, even when vaccination services are accessible [4]. Additionally, the WHO identifies vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 global health threats [5].

Feasibility and Acceptability of a Health App Platform Providing Individuals With a Budget to Purchase Preselected Apps to Work on Their Health and Well-Being: Quantitative Evaluation Study

Feasibility and Acceptability of a Health App Platform Providing Individuals With a Budget to Purchase Preselected Apps to Work on Their Health and Well-Being: Quantitative Evaluation Study

To overcome the abovementioned barriers pertaining to the awareness, uptake, and use of health apps, a national experiment was initiated by the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Sport. The experiment was also aimed at empowering individuals to work on their health and vitality, ultimately supporting a more healthy society. In this experiment, individuals from the general population were given access to a health app platform called “Fit Knip.”

A Profile of Influenza Vaccine Coverage for 2019-2020: Database Study of the English Primary Care Sentinel Cohort

A Profile of Influenza Vaccine Coverage for 2019-2020: Database Study of the English Primary Care Sentinel Cohort

We describe the representativeness of the PCSC compared with the national population, the uptake of influenza vaccination within this cohort (differentiated by formulation and also compared with national data), and the timing of vaccine administration across age bands. In this study, we compare the PCSC with national data for population representativeness and vaccine uptake by formulation and provide a descriptive report by week of vaccine uptake.

A Self-Guided Web-Based App (MyDiaMate) for Enhancing Mental Health in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: Insights From a Real-World Study in the Netherlands

A Self-Guided Web-Based App (MyDiaMate) for Enhancing Mental Health in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: Insights From a Real-World Study in the Netherlands

However, uptake and engagement with self-guided applications for mental health may be challenging [15]. Over the past years, numerous digital interventions for people with diabetes have been developed focusing on lifestyle changes and blood glucose control, that do not address coping with the psychological burden of T1 D [16].

Exploring Whether the Electronic Optimization of Routine Health Assessments Can Increase Testing for Sexually Transmitted Infections and Provider Acceptability at an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service: Mixed Methods Evaluation

Exploring Whether the Electronic Optimization of Routine Health Assessments Can Increase Testing for Sexually Transmitted Infections and Provider Acceptability at an Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service: Mixed Methods Evaluation

This is a national figure, and local uptake is highly variable among regions and services [17]. The uptake of health assessments more than tripled in the decade preceding the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in a slight decrease of 2% over 2 years [20]. The pandemic also resulted in many health services temporarily deprioritizing the routine STI screening of asymptomatic patients in a context of significant disruption to clinical services [21].

Where Are We With Teledermatology? Two Years in the Wake of COVID-19

Where Are We With Teledermatology? Two Years in the Wake of COVID-19

After the initial uptake of teledermatology in Q2 2020 secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic, the percentage of teleconsults conducted remained largely stable between 1% and 2%. In contrast, the percentage of teleconsults planned showed fluctuations, increasing from 0% in Q1 2020 to 6.3% in Q4 2020, decreasing to 3% in Q1 2021 before increasing again to 4.3% in Q3 2021. Subsequently, the percentage of teleconsults planned decreased again to 0.9% in Q4 2022 (Figure 1).

Using Location Intelligence to Evaluate the COVID-19 Vaccination Campaign in the United States: Spatiotemporal Big Data Analysis

Using Location Intelligence to Evaluate the COVID-19 Vaccination Campaign in the United States: Spatiotemporal Big Data Analysis

Therefore, our study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this national campaign in promoting vaccine uptake, which could be used to inform the design and evaluation of other large-scale behavior change interventions. Monitoring the exposure to mass media campaigns is challenging due to the dynamic nature of the campaign rollout and massive coverage. Traditional monitoring approaches include surveys, interviews, and cohort studies [17,18].
