ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring ways to encourage men to take a more active role in their health, especially when it comes to vaccinations and preventive care. Researchers want to find out if offering vaccines directly in a birthing center, along with providing health education and support, makes men more likely to get vaccinated and engage in their overall healthcare. They will compare three different approaches: one group will receive vaccines at their bedside, another will get an informative flyer about preventive care along with vaccines, and the third group will have more personal support from healthcare staff along with the vaccine offer.

To participate in this study, you need to be an adult male partner of someone giving birth at a birthing center. You cannot be younger than 18 or identify as anything other than a man. If you join, you will fill out two surveys and have one interview about your healthcare experiences. This trial is currently looking for participants, and your involvement could help improve how men engage with their health in the future.
