aFor constructs specific to maternal influenza disease or vaccine, “intend to vaccinate”, “intend not to vaccinate”, and “uncertain intentions” refer to maternal influenza vaccined; for constructs specific to maternal pertussis disease or vaccine, “intend to vaccinate”, “intend not to vaccinate”, and “uncertain intentions” refer to maternal Tdap vaccinee; for constructs specific to infant diseases or vaccines, “intend to vaccinate”, “intend not to vaccinate”, and “uncertain intentions” refer to intending to receive all recommended infant vaccines versus intending to receive some or no recommended infant vaccinesf; for constructs relevant to both maternal and infant vaccines, “intend to vaccinate”, “intend not to vaccinate”, and “uncertain intentions” refer to intending to receive all recommended infant vaccines versus intending to receive some or no recommended infant vaccinesf

bOR = Odds Ratio from logistic regression comparing the proportions with above average construct scoresc at follow-up between those receiving MomsTalkShots and those not receiving MomsTalkShots, controlling for the corresponding proportions with above average construct scoresc at baseline; 95%CI = 95% Confidence Interval; bolded if statistically significant (in the dichotomous analysis)

cKAB = knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs. Summary scores were created for all KAB constructs with multiple constituent survey statements at each timepoint (see Additional file 1: Appendix 1). Dichotomous variables assessing construct summary scores coded scores above the average as 1 and scores below the average as 0

gThis appearance of an overlap with 1 in the 95%CI is due to rounding

hThe KAB construct “Specific safety concerns (for infant vaccines)” was created from negatively phrased survey statements, so a negative association would indicate a positive effect on vaccine perceptions. All other KAB constructs in this table were created from positively phrased survey statements, so a positive association would indicate a positive effect on vaccine perceptions
