Abstract
To inform a pediatric clinic-based vaccine promotion trial, we conducted workflow mapping interviews with 8 providers and staff at two pediatric clinics. Using an interview guide, participants described the vaccine delivery process and shared perspectives on barriers and facilitators. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using rapid qualitative methods. We created visual workflow maps that guided intervention refinement and tailored implementation protocols for our pilot cluster RCT. We recommend integrating workflow mapping into intervention planning timelines to ensure contextual fit. Rapid qualitative analysis is an efficient, well-suited method for this type of pre-implementation formative research.
