Examining Adolescent Assessment, Feedback, Incentive, and Exchange (AFIX)

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Health Services Research

Change in Vaccination Rate

Outcome Description:

We will gather practice-specific rates of coverage for adolescents (age 11-18) for tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis booster; measles, mumps, rubella vaccine; meningococcal vaccine; hepatitis B vaccine; varicella vaccine; and human papillomavirus vaccine; as well as the combination of vaccines.
