DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): New technologies such as cell phones and personal digital devices are ubiquitous, but are underused in the public health arena. The proposed study will develop and pilot test innovative approaches using new technologies to contact parents with immunization messages. The specific aims of the Technology for Immunization Message Enhancement program are to: 1) assess technology use among public and private immunization providers, exploring current usage of and willingness to use text messaging and other technologies to communicate with parents of vaccine-eligible children; 2) assess the willingness of parents to receive immunization messages through text messaging or other technologies, the perceived barriers to receiving such messages, and preferences regarding the format and content of messages; 3) implement and evaluate pilot projects using text messaging and other technologies to support immunization messages, in diverse settings and with different age groups. The proposed study offers an excellent opportunity to create generalizable knowledge in an important new area of research, the use of new technologies to enhance immunization messaging. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The expanding use of technology presents new opportunities for public health to incorporate new technologies into strategies for engaging clients. The proposed project aims to develop and pilot test strategies for using text messages and other new technologies to enhance immunization messages for parents.

描述（由申请人提供）：新技术（例如手机和个人数字设备）无处不在，但在公共卫生领域不足。 拟议的研究将使用新技术与父母联系免疫信息的新技术开发和试点测试创新方法。 该技术用于免疫信息增强计划的具体目的是：1）评估公共和私人免疫提供者之间的技术使用，探讨当前对使用文本消息传递和其他技术的用法和意愿与疫苗符合疫苗符合疫苗的父母进行交流； 2）评估父母通过文本消息或其他技术，接收此类消息的障碍以及有关消息的格式和内容的偏好的愿望； 3）使用文本消息传递和其他技术实施和评估试点项目，以支持免疫信息，在不同的环境和不同年龄组中。 拟议的研究提供了一个绝佳的机会，可以在重要的新研究领域（使用新技术来增强免疫消息传递）中创建可推广的知识。 公共卫生相关性：扩大技术的使用为公共卫生提供了新的机会，将新技术纳入吸引客户的策略。 拟议的项目旨在制定和试点测试策略，以使用短信和其他新技术来增强父母的免疫信息。
