Engaging Staff to Improve COVID-19 Vaccination Response at Long-Term Care Facilities
Sponsor: Kaiser Permanente
Summary
The ENSPIRE study is a cluster-randomized comparative effectiveness trial being conducted within long-term care and residential facilities that will test a communication and engagement strategy for increasing COVID-19 booster vaccination rates against an enhanced usual care comparator (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or other national organization vaccine education and communication materials) among facility staff. The communication and engagement strategy being tested includes (1) the development of materials co-designed with and tailored to facility staff whose primary language is a language other than English or who are from certain cultural affinity groups and (2) the distribution of the developed materials by members of the language/cultural affinity groups with peer advocacy activities (full intervention). The study is being conducted in Washington state and Georgia. Long-term care/residential facilities will be asked to furnish their staff booster rate at 4 timepoints: pre-intervention, and one month (timepoint 1), 3 months (timepoint 2), and 6 months (timepoint 3) post-intervention. Staff at participating long-term care facilities will be invited to complete three online surveys at 3 timepoints: pre-intervention, 3 months post-intervention and 6 months post-intervention. Long-term care facilities will be randomized to a trial arm following the pre-intervention data collection.

Interventions
Full Intervention
A small group of employees who work at facilities randomized to this arm will be invited to develop tailored COVID-19 vaccination promotion materials in teams with other long-term care staff sharing the same or similar language and/or cultural affinity. These employees will also help promote these materials to all of the employees who work at their facilities.
Enhanced Usual Care
Employees who work at facilities randomized to this arm will see COVID-19 vaccine promotion materials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention \[CDC\] or other national organization.
