Details: NAIIS meeting in Atlanta May 9-11, 2023, at the Atlanta Marriott Perimeter Center Hotel. May 9th, at 2:30PM

 

From NAIIS Email:

As discussed, we are hoping that you can provide a summary of your findings from the 60 hours of focus group research that NACHC did to identify why people were declining vaccination. As you know, with the increase in the number of “routinely” recommended adult vaccines, there is an urgent need to help our providers operationalize adult vaccinations in their practice, and understanding vaccine hesitancy and improving vaccination communications is an essential part of that process. You will be part of a panel of 3 presenters for this 60-minute session on vaccine communications. We have Cynthia Jorgenson presenting on behavioral interventions to improve vaccination acceptance, Serese Marotta (at Vaccinate Your Family) presenting on social media impact, and then you. So each presenter will have about 18 minutes.

Overview of Work Setup

  • Objectives

  • Health Center Recruitment

  • Design Group Guide

  • Divided work between Emory/NACHC/JHU

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption to the nation’s public health and healthcare infrastructure. Community health centers serve as the safety net to the highest-risk patients. The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) proposes to engage local health centers as trusted brokers to build vaccine confidence in high-risk populations by empowering individuals and communities with accurate accessible information about COVID-19 and vaccines.  This Approach to COVID-19 Vaccine Trust includes:

·       Listening sessions with high-risk patient populations and their care teams

·       Development of a culturally responsible animated web-based application to build vaccine trust

·       A communication strategy with context-specific messaging tailored to the communities served by health centers including Latinx, African American, and American Indian.

The results will include

§   Evidence-based messaging to build vaccine trust in high risk populations.

§   COVID-19 web app available to the public to address vaccine confidence/hesitancy

§   Disseminate communication tools health centers for accurate, accessible, information that meets the needs of their communities to address COVID-19

 

 

Health Center Responsibilities in Brief

Your health center’s assistance is needed in the following ways. NACHC will provide details and guidance for each.

  1. Identify one staff member to coordinate the project and be the main point of contact

  1. Engage patients and staff to participate in a series of 2 facilitated group co-design conversations, each 60--90 minutes

  1. Identify an individual from your staff or community to facilitate the conversations with patients

  1. Identify the setting for the conversations to take place

  1. Record the conversations and submit recordings to NACHC

  1. Provide food and drinks during the conversations

  1. Provide gift cards for participants to acknowledge their time and contributions

  1. Share project findings with patients, staff, and leadership
