Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

cardiovascular disorders digital intervention arm (CVD-I)

cardiovascular disorders without digital intervention arm

Arm Description

Individuals with cardiovascular disease who receive a targeted digital intervention aimed at increasing influenza vaccination

Individuals with cardiovascular disease who receive no intervention

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Self-reported Influenza Vaccination Status as Vaccinated
To determine the effectiveness of a digital intervention designed to increase influenza vaccination rates in individuals with cardiovascular diagnoses (CV diagnoses) by examining differences in self-reported influenza vaccination rates between individuals with cardiovascular disease who receive a targeted digital intervention (CVD-I) aimed at increasing influenza vaccination and those with CV diagnoses who received no intervention (CVD-C) by the end of the study period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Self-reported Influenza Vaccination Status as Vaccinated
Differences in rates of self-reported influenza vaccination status after study start between individuals in the intervention group that completed different numbers of intervention messages (0 to 6 messages) over the course of the study
Participant Completion Rate
Differences in completion rates of specific intervention types by individuals in the group receiving the targeted intervention
Self-Reported Influenza Vaccination Status Prediction
Development of a logistic regression model to predict self-reported influenza vaccination status using vaccination predictors such as vaccine drivers/barriers, and vaccine knowledge.

Parallel Assignment
Masking
Participant
Masking Description
A set of existing Achievement members who have previously self-reported to meeting the inclusion criteria will be tagged for study inclusion, termed "participants". Since participants will be blinded to their study participation status, participants will not be asked to take any action to enroll in the study. In order to identify a target list of participants, Evidation Health will leverage already permissioned information from Achievement members, including data on their cardiovascular diagnoses, age, sex/gender, race/ethnicity, and country of residence.
