We examined the effectiveness of tailored calendars in increasing childhood immunization rates.
Parents of babies aged birth to 1 year (n = 321) received individually tailored calendars promoting immunization from 2 urban public health centers. For each baby, an age- and sex-matched control was selected from the same center. Immunization status was tracked through age 24 months.
A higher proportion of intervention than of control babies were up to date at the end of a 9-month enrollment period (82% vs 65%, P <.001) and at age 24 months (66% vs 47%, P <.001). The younger the baby's age at enrollment in the program, the greater was the intervention effect.
Tailored immunization calendars can help increase child immunization rates.
我们研究了定制日历在提高儿童免疫接种率方面的有效性。
来自两个城市公共卫生中心的321名出生至1岁婴儿的父母收到了促进免疫接种的个性化定制日历。对于每个婴儿,从同一中心选择一名年龄和性别匹配的对照。对免疫接种状况进行跟踪,直至24个月龄。
在9个月的入组期结束时,干预组婴儿中达到最新免疫接种状态的比例高于对照组(82%对65%,P<.001),在24个月龄时也是如此(66%对47%,P<.001)。婴儿入组该项目时年龄越小,干预效果越大。
定制免疫接种日历有助于提高儿童免疫接种率。
