Community programs to increase RSV vaccination among Latino adults

Official title: Motivate Vaccinate Activate: An Effectiveness-Implementation Trial to Assess the Impact of a Multi-Component Community-Based Intervention to Increase RSV Vaccine Uptake Among Latino Older Adults

Run by University of California, San Francisco · NCT07171164 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project tests whether community health worker counseling combined with text-message reminders can get more Latino older adults vaccinated against RSV and whether asking younger Latino adults to talk with older friends and family increases those conversations about RSV vaccination.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are Latino/a/x or Latin American indigenous adults who are either (a) age 50+ who have not yet received the RSV vaccine, are fluent in English or Spanish, have a cell phone, and live or work in San Francisco or Daly City, or (b) age 18–49 who are fluent in English or Spanish and have at least one family member or friend aged 50+ in the U.S. they see or speak with regularly.

Probably not a fit

People unlikely to benefit include those already vaccinated against RSV, nursing home residents, those planning to move out of the area within a year, household members already enrolled in the aims, or anyone unable to provide informed consent.

What this trial studies

This type 1 hybrid-implementation effort partners community organizations with academic investigators to adapt and test outreach approaches using community-based participatory methods. In the Motivate phase, 400 Latino adults aged 50+ in San Francisco/Daly City are randomized across three arms (community health worker counseling plus text nudges, CHW-delivered RSV vaccine, or text nudges alone) and the primary outcome is RSV vaccine uptake. In a parallel Activate phase, 350 Latino adults aged 18–49 are randomized to CHW activation counseling plus text nudges versus text nudges alone, with the primary outcome the proportion of older contacts with whom participants discussed RSV vaccination. Both phases use culturally tailored interventions delivered in English or Spanish and measure implementation outcomes alongside effectiveness.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approaches could raise RSV vaccination rates among Latino older adults and use family and social networks to spread vaccine information.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work shows community health workers and text-message reminders can increase adult vaccine uptake, but combining CHW outreach with social-network activation for RSV is relatively novel.
