Polio Immunization Delivery Study (PIDS)

The PROS study team has developed the study in collaboration with the Pediatric Section of the National Medical Association and representatives of the National Immunization Program of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Enrollment of new practitioners into the study is closed.

Data collection by PROS and the National Medical Association (NMA) for the Polio Immunization Delivery Study is complete. One hundred sixty (160) PROS practitioners enrolled 13,213 patients in the study; 17 NMA practitioners enrolled 858 patients. The main study dataset is being finalized and manuscript writing has begun in earnest.

Data collection for the Clinical Assessment Software Application (CASA) substudy of PIDS, which will assess the best method for determining immunization rates, has concluded. Fifty-five practices participated in the substudy. Thirty-five practices completed data collection and another 13 practices returned some data.
