What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether enhanced access to vaccinations and tailored health education for men can increase their engagement in preventive healthcare. Participants will be divided into three groups: one receiving bedside vaccinations, another receiving an informational flyer along with vaccinations, and a third receiving high-touch engagement from patient liaisons in addition to vaccinations. The study will assess vaccination uptake and overall healthcare engagement among male-identifying partners of birthing individuals. Surveys will be conducted to measure changes in healthcare engagement over time.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adult male-identifying partners of birthing individuals at a birthing center.
Not a fit: Patients who do not identify as male or are under the age of 18 will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly increase vaccination rates and healthcare engagement among men, leading to improved health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in increasing healthcare engagement through tailored interventions, suggesting potential success for this approach.
