Behavioural economics to improve and motivate vaccination in primary care using nudges through the electronic health record: rationale and design of the BE IMMUNE randomised clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Annual influenza vaccination reduces disease burden but vaccination rates are suboptimal, with persistent disparities among subpopulations. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate multicomponent behavioural economic nudge interventions to clinicians and patients to increase influenza vaccination. This trial also includes an intensification nudge to reduce disparities in vaccination among older adult, primary care patients.

Methods

This is a two-part, multisite cluster randomised, pragmatic clinical trial. In the first part, a multicomponent nudge intervention will be tested over approximately 6 months (September 2023-February 2024). The second part consists of a replication trial conducted at an additional site during the following influenza season (September 2
