Effects of a Theory- and Evidence-Based, Motivational Interviewing–Oriented Artificial Intelligence Digital Assistant on Vaccine Attitudes: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The intervention indicated promising yet significant effects on vaccine readiness while the effects on vaccine hesitancy require further confirmation. The qualitative findings; however, further consolidate the significant effects on participants' attitudes toward vaccines. The findings provide novel evidence to encourage the adoption and refinement of a MI-oriented AI digital assistant in vaccine promotion.
