Interventions

  • ADVANCE Steering Committee interventions — BEHAVIORAL
    Interventions will be selected by the ADVANCE Steering Committee and will be rapidly deployed without additional effort on the part of front-line staff at four distinct levels: patient, provider, practice and prison level. Interventions will be tested one at a time in an iterative process. A participatory, assets-based framework will be used to identify acceptable and feasible strategies to improve vaccine acceptance. Each round of testing will include 1 month of preparation by the steering committee,12-week intervention period, and 2 months for analysis and rapid dissemination.
