Brief Summary:
The goal of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of health education interventions on influenza vaccination rates and health literacy in primary school students in the city of Dongguan in China.
Individuals aged 7 to 12 years who are in grades 4-5 in primary schools in Dongguan will be enrolled. 20 primary schools will be randomly selected, with half designated as intervention group schools and the remaining half as control group schools. The intervention group will receive a monthly health education intervention focused on influenza vaccination for 5 months, while the control group will continue with their routine school health education for 5 months.
Researchers will compare the differences in influenza vaccination rates and influenza vaccination health literacy levels between the intervention and control groups after 5 months to see if health education can promote influenza vaccination health literacy among primary school students.
Detailed Description:
Introduction: Influenza is a major public health threat, and vaccination is the most effective prevention method. However, vaccination coverage remains suboptimal. Low health literacy regarding influenza vaccination may contribute to vaccine hesitancy. This study aims to evaluate the effect of health education interventions on influenza vaccination rates and health literacy.
Methods and analysis: This cluster randomized controlled trial will enroll 3036 students in grades 4-5 from 20 primary schools in Dongguan City, China. Schools will be randomized to an intervention group receiving influenza vaccination health education or a control group receiving routine health education. The primary outcome is influenza vaccination rate. Secondary outcomes include health literacy levels, influenza diagnosis rate, influenza-like illness incidence, and vaccine protection rate. Data will be collected through questionnaires, influenza surveillance, and self-reports at baseline and study conclusion.
Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval has been sought from the Ethics Committee of the School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University. Findings from the study will be made accessible to both peer-reviewed journals and key stakeholders.
