The Effect of Proximity on Flu-Shot Participation

NCT01455753 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1801

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Using desk location information and employees' building entry/exit swipe card data from a company that offered a free 2-day worksite influenza vaccination clinic, we separately identify the vaccination effects of base proximity-the inverse of walking distance between one's desk and the clinic-and functional proximity-the likelihood of passing near the clinic during the course of a normal work day (ie, days when the clinic is not open).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Functional Proximity

Using each employee's building entry/exit swipe card data, we test whether functional proximity-the likelihood that the employee walks by the clinic for reasons other than vaccination-predicts whether the employee gets vaccinated at the clinic.

OTHER

Base Proximity

We also test whether base proximity-the inverse of walking distance from the employee's desk to the clinic-predicts vaccination probability.
