Study summary

Influenza can cause serious illness in older adults, particularly those with diabetes. Although influenza vaccination is an important preventive measure, vaccination uptake among older adults in China remains low.

This study aimed to evaluate whether different ways of presenting influenza vaccination information could encourage vaccination among older adults with diabetes in Yangzhou, China.

Adults aged 60 to 75 years with diabetes were assigned to one of four study groups: a control group without intervention text messages, a standard information group, a gain-framed information group emphasizing the benefits of vaccination, and a loss-framed information group emphasizing the potential negative consequences of not being vaccinated.

The primary outcome was influenza vaccination uptake during follow-up. Secondary outcomes included willingness to receive influenza vaccination and vaccine literacy. The study examined whether information-based interventions could improve vaccination-related outcomes compared with the control group.

  • Participation in another clinical trial or similar study.
  • Refusal or inability to provide demographic or vaccination-related information.
  • Inability to participate in the study because of health status.
  • Known to influenza vaccination.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Study arms

  • No intervention
    Control Group

    Participants in the control group received no study-specific influenza vaccination information intervention. They completed baseline and follow-up assessments.

  • Experimental
    Standard Information Group

    Participants assigned to this group received standard, factual information about influenza and influenza vaccination, without emphasizing either the benefits of vaccination or the risks of non-vaccination. The intervention consisted of an educational video followed by a reinforcement reminder card.

    Behavioral: Standard Information Intervention

  • Experimental
    Gain-Framed Information Group

    Participants assigned to this group received influenza vaccination information framed to emphasize the potential benefits of vaccination, including protection against influenza and its complications among older adults with diabetes. The intervention consisted of a gain-framed educational video followed by a reinforcement reminder card.

    Behavioral: Gain-Framed Information Intervention

  • Experimental
    Loss-Framed Information Group

    Participants assigned to this group received influenza vaccination information framed to emphasize the potential negative consequences of not being vaccinated, including an increased risk of influenza infection and related complications among older adults with diabetes. The intervention consisted of a loss-framed educational video followed by a reinforcement reminder card.

    Behavioral: Loss-Framed Information Intervention

Interventions

  • BehavioralStandard Information Intervention

    This intervention provided standard, factual information about influenza and influenza vaccination without emphasizing the benefits of vaccination or the risks of non-vaccination. The intervention consisted of an approximately 10-minute educational video and a subsequent reinforcement reminder card.

  • BehavioralGain-Framed Information Intervention

    This intervention provided gain-framed information emphasizing the potential benefits of influenza vaccination, including protection against influenza and related complications among older adults with diabetes. The intervention consisted of an approximately 10-minute educational video and a subsequent reinforcement reminder card.

  • BehavioralLoss-Framed Information Intervention

    This intervention provided loss-framed information emphasizing the potential negative consequences of not receiving influenza vaccination, including increased susceptibility to influenza and related health complications among older adults with diabetes. The intervention consisted of an approximately 10-minute educational video and a subsequent reinforcement reminder card.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Influenza Vaccination Uptake

    The proportion of participants who received an influenza vaccine during the follow-up period, as verified through the electronic immunization information system. Vaccination uptake was calculated as the number of vaccinated participants divided by the number of participants with available vaccination outcome data, multiplied by 100%.

    Time frame: From baseline to approximately 6 months (final follow-up)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Vaccine Literacy Score

    Vaccine literacy was assessed using a modified Chinese-adapted version of the Health Literacy about Vaccination of Adults in Italian (HLVa-IT) scale. Items were rated on a five-point Likert scale, and the mean item score was calculated, with higher scores indicating greater vaccine literacy. Change was calculated as the post-intervention mean score minus the baseline mean score.

    Time frame: Baseline and approximately 6 months (post-intervention)

  2. Change in Influenza Vaccination Intention Score

    Influenza vaccination intention was assessed using a single item: 'Will you receive an influenza vaccine in the future?' Responses were rated on a five-point Likert scale from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating stronger vaccination intention. Change was calculated as the post-intervention score minus the baseline score.

    Time frame: Baseline and approximately 6 months (post-intervention)

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Sep 2023 to primary completion in Apr 2024, 7 months.

Of 2,066 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 40. This study's 7 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 2,243 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 39.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
