Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
No Intervention
Intervention group: Practice facilitation and additional support
Control group- No intervention
Ontario Health will send out letters to physicians in the intervention group that will explain to them that they have a large group of eligible and unvaccinated patients and that an initiative is planned to support them in reaching out to those patients, with an embedded evaluation. It will ask them to reach out to the research team to plan a time to access the supports to gather more information, or to opt-out from the evaluation. Specifically, physicians will receive invitations to receive practice facilitation via mail letter and fax, followed by up to five weekly phone calls from a team member at Ontario Health.
We choose to include a control group as we do not have the resources to deliver the intervention to the entire physician group. Cluster randomization by primary practice address will limit contamination.
