Mass inoculation in a community : the effect of primary prevention of stress reactions . This study assessed the effectiveness of a brief , situation-specific , group-administered preparatory intervention in a nonclient school population undergoing mass inoculation against rubella . Fifty-one girls were randomly assigned to practice , no-practice , or control groups . Both the practice and the no-practice groups received information that described the inoculation procedure and how to cope with it by using cognitive-behavioral coping skills . The practice group was encouraged to perform coping techniques of this type , whereas the no-practice group was told only that the intervention would help them during the inoculation . Subjects in both practice and no-practice groups reported less anxiety and exhibited more cooperative behavior during inoculation than subjects in the control group , and those who were guided and prompted to actively practice derived greater benefit .
