Premarital rubella screening programs are effective in identifying women of childbearing age who are susceptible to rubella. There is concern, however, that once identified, susceptible women may not be subsequently vaccinated. Therefore, a study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a motivational letter mailed at the time of serologic testing. Rubella-susceptible women identified by a premarital screening program were randomly divided into two groups: one group of 134 received a motivational letter and one group of 143 did not. Three months later, 52 percent of the women in the motivational group had been vaccinated, compared with only 24 percent (P less than 0.05) of the women in the control group. In this study, a motivational letter was found to lead to a significant increase in rubella vaccination rates among susceptible women. With the increasing emphasis on rubella vaccination programs for adult women, active approaches are necessary to identify and vaccinate susceptible women.
婚前风疹筛查项目对于识别易感染风疹的育龄女性是有效的。然而，人们担心的是，一旦被识别出来，易感染风疹的女性随后可能不会接种疫苗。因此，开展了一项研究来测试在进行血清学检测时邮寄的一封激励信的效果。通过婚前筛查项目识别出的易感染风疹的女性被随机分为两组：一组134人收到了激励信，另一组143人没有收到。三个月后，收到激励信组中有52%的女性接种了疫苗，而对照组中只有24%的女性接种了疫苗（P值小于0.05）。在这项研究中，发现一封激励信能显著提高易感染风疹女性的风疹疫苗接种率。随着对成年女性风疹疫苗接种项目的日益重视，需要采取积极的方法来识别易感染风疹的女性并为她们接种疫苗。
