BREATHE WELL: Development and Implementation of a Training Program to Increase Vaccination in Early Childcare and Education Centers
NCCDPHP - National Center for Chronic Disease Prev and Health Promo
About This Grant
PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT Early childcare and education (ECE) centers are trusted institutions that engage with parents regularly, positioning them as key messengers for childhood immunization and respiratory health promotion. While ECE centers ensure compliance with mandated vaccines, their potential to support uptake of non-mandated immunizations—such as influenza vaccine, COVID-19 vaccine, maternal RSV vaccine, and nirsevimab antibody—remains underutilized. The BREATHE Well (Building Readiness, Engagement, and Trust for Healthy Environments) Toolkit is an evidence-based intervention designed to enhance ECE-originating vaccine communication, training ECE staff to effectively engage parents on immunization topics. This study will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the BREATHE Well toolkit using a cluster- randomized controlled trial (RCT). The project will be guided by three specific aims: (1) Develop and refine the BREATHE Well toolkit through formative research, incorporating input from ECE staff, parents, and public health officials; (2) Assess the acceptability and feasibility of the toolkit through focus groups and surveys with ECE staff and parents in demonstration sites within Michigan; and (3) Evaluate the effectiveness of the toolkit in a cluster-randomized trial of ECE centers, measuring changes in parental vaccine confidence, intent to vaccinate, and staff capacity to serve as trusted messengers. The BREATHE Well toolkit will be designed as a scalable approach usable in different types of ECEs. Findings from this study will inform best practices for integrating vaccine-related education into ECE settings, with the goal of increasing parental vaccine confidence and improving uptake of recommended immunizations.
