What this research studies
As a parent of a 9–12 year old, this program trains doctors, nurses, and clinic staff to make short, strong announcements recommending care so families are more likely to say yes. The projects will test changes like involving the whole primary care team and using standing orders, with some clinics randomly chosen to try the new approaches. Researchers will track health care use, costs, and how easily clinics can adopt the training. The goal is to help clinics deliver more effective recommendations for vaccinations and other preventive services for preteens.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Children aged 9–12 and their parents or guardians who receive care at participating primary care clinics are the ideal candidates.
Not a fit: Children outside the 9–12 age range, those who do not visit participating clinics, or those needing specialized care are less likely to benefit directly.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, more children could get recommended preventive care because clinic teams give clearer, more persuasive recommendations.
How similar studies have performed: Communication trainings like the Announcement Approach Training have been used before and showed promise, and this program builds on that prior work.
