“…Regardless of the causes, to reduce poverty-associated disparities in influenza-related hospitalizations, there is a need to increase influenza vaccination levels in higher poverty neighborhoods and to more fully implement recommendations on the use of antivirals in the outpatient setting (6). This will require enhanced efforts by public health agencies and health care providers to address missed opportunities for vaccination and system barriers (8), as well as a better understanding of personal barriers (9) to influenza vaccination in these neighborhoods. In addition, it will require evaluation of use of antivirals and efforts to improve them.…”

“…Second, the cost of conducting door-to-door interviews would have been prohibitive when considering the likelihood of a low response rate and the staff time needed to recruit the target sample size. Furthermore, based on our previous experiences in conducting door-todoor sampling in these and similar neighborhoods, 23 access to apartment buildings can be challenging in NYC, where building security personnel and locked front entrances can be significant barriers. Thus, we sought to systematically recruit a sample of the street traffic in the target neighborhoods during daylight hours from Monday to Friday.…”

Sampling and Recruitment in Multilevel Studies among Marginalized Urban Populations: The IMPACT Studies

Illicit drug use in urban settings is a major public health problem. A range of individual level factors are known to influence drug use and its consequences, and a number of recent studies have suggested that the neighborhood in which an individual lives may also play a role. However, studies seeking to identify neighborhood-level determinants of drug use, particularly among marginalized urban populations, need to overcome significant challenges, particularly in the area of sampling and recruitment. One key issue is defining functional neighborhoods that are relevant to local residents. Another arises from the need to sample a representative or even a diverse population when studying marginalized groups such as illicit drug users. These are common problems that raise particular challenges when both need to be addressed in the same study. For example, many sampling approaches for neighborhood-level studies have included some form of random sample of households, but this may systematically overlook marginalized populations. On the other hand, the sampling approaches commonly used in studies of hidden populations such as chain referral, snow ball, and more recently, respondent-driven sampling, typically expand beyond a geographic "neighborhood." We describe the organization and rationale for the IMPACT Studies in New York City as a case illustration on how such issues may be addressed.

“…4 Phase II, the focus of this paper, was a survey to examine access to vaccination during the national shortage (October-December 2004). Phase III (January-March 2005) was the implementation of a pilot door-to-door influenza vaccination program.…”

Little is known about the impact of vaccine shortages on vaccination rates among disadvantaged populations in the United States. We compared factors associated with influenza vaccination rates during a vaccine shortage (2004)(2005) and a non-shortage (2003)(2004) year among adults in predominantly minority New York City neighborhoods. Thirty-one percent of participants received influenza vaccine during the non-shortage year compared with 18% during the shortage. While fewer people received the influenza vaccine during the shortage, a higher proportion of the vaccinated were in a high-risk group (68% vs. 52%, respectively). People were less likely to have been vaccinated during the shortage if they were Black. This study suggests that vaccination rates were lower during the shortage period among Blacks and those who are not explicitly a focus of national vaccination outreach campaigns. Such groups are less likely to be vaccinated when vaccines are scarce.

Determinants of influenza vaccination in hard-to-reach urban populations

Abstract: Participants who are unconnected to health or social services or government health insurance are less likely to have been vaccinated in the past although these persons are willing to receive vaccine if it were available.
