What this trial studies
This open-label cluster randomized trial tests a digital platform that rewards vaccine uptake with points to see if it increases coverage of non-NIP vaccines and related preventive behaviors in Jiangshan, Zhejiang. Communities are assigned to receive the incentive platform versus standard practice, with follow-up at 12 months. The study aims to determine whether the intervention can produce a measurable increase in targeted vaccine doses. The approach emphasizes a scalable, low-cost pattern using community mobilization and empowerment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants and communities may see higher non-NIP vaccination rates and improved adherence to preventive health behaviors.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies have explored incentives for vaccination, but this approach combining digital platform rewards with community mobilization is relatively novel in this setting.
