Vaccine preferences and their role for vaccine confidence and uptake
Vaccine confidence and uptake are influenced by individuals' preferences regarding vaccine composition, quality, or administration pathways. However, literature synthesizing available qualitative insights into individuals' vaccine preferences remains limited. We therefore conducted a meta-ethnographic systematic review of the qualitative literature on vaccine preferences to identify opportunities for enhancing vaccine confidence and uptake. We im…
Improving Medication Availability through Mobile Wallets and Pooled Community Funds
In Uganda, frequent shortages of antihypertensive medications hinder continuity of care, undermining blood pressure management. Building on preliminary ethnographic research, this study evaluates a community-led, mobile-wallet-based pooling intervention— MoPuleesa—designed to improve medication access at a rural clinic in Nakaseke District, Uganda. Over a seven-month period, 183 patients enrolled and were linked to a digital savings platform that…
Systematic Extraction and Qualitative Framing Analysis of Health-Related Online Media Content
Scientific guidance for systematically searching, extracting, and qualitatively analyzing large-yet-meaningful amounts of media data remains limited, particularly in the context of health research where analyzing media communication can facilitate our understanding of public health discourses. To address this gap, and building on our experience in qualitatively analyzing global health media data, we developed a 5-step FOCUS approach, which entail…
"Not Only a Matter of Personal Interest"-Vaccination Narratives and the Model of Moral Motives in China and Germany
Understanding vaccination decision-making processes is vital for guiding vaccine promotion within pandemic contexts and for routine immunization efforts. Vaccine-related attitudes influencing individual decision-making can be affected by broader cultural and normative contexts. We conducted 73 qualitative interviews with adults in China ( n = 40) and Germany ( n = 33) between December 2020 and April 2021 to understand COVID-19 vaccination intenti…
Messy but worth it
Human-centred design (HCD) is an approach to problem-solving that prioritises understanding and meeting the needs of the end-users. Researchers and designers practice empathic listening as users share their perspectives, thereby enabling a variety of stakeholders to cocreate effective solutions. While a valuable and, in theory, straightforward process, HCD in practice can be chaotic: Practitioners often struggle to navigate an excess of (often co…
Preferences regarding Covid-19 vaccination among 12,000 adults in China
Understanding public preferences concerning vaccination is critical to inform pandemic response strategies. To investigate Chinese adults’ preferences regarding COVID-19 vaccine attributes, we conducted a cross-sectional online survey in 12,000 Chinese adults in June-July, 2021. Participants were requested to answer a series of discrete choice questions related to hypothetical COVID-19 vaccines. Using mixed logit models, our analysis revealed tha…
Conflicting and complementary notions of responsibility in caregiver’s and health care workers’ vaccination narratives in the Philippines
Background: Vaccine hesitancy (VH) continues to pose a public health threat globally. Understanding the attitudes and perceptions about vaccination of key stakeholders in vaccine decision-making (such as health care workers (HCWs) and caregivers) about vaccination can pave the way toward novel approaches to bolster vaccine confidence. In this study, we explored the role of notions of responsibilities among HCWs and caregivers in shaping vaccinati…
Prompts, Pearls, Imperfections
The impact of ChatGPT and other large language model-based applications on scientific work is being debated across contexts and disciplines. However, despite ChatGPT's inherent focus on language generation and processing, insights regarding its potential for supporting qualitative research and analysis remain limited. In this article, we advocate for an open discourse on chances and pitfalls of AI-supported qualitative analysis by exploring ChatG…
Taking emic and etic to the family level
The consideration of parents' and children's emic and etic perspectives provided deeper insights into family members' experiences, navigation, and views of COVID-19 measures. Applying the emic/etic distinction to the family context enriches the sociology of childhood studies and enables a more nuanced understanding of diverging experiences within families and should thus be further explored within and beyond epidemics in order to guide future pan…
Human-centred design bolsters vaccine confidence in the Philippines
BACKGROUND: The public's confidence in vaccinations has eroded, and anti-vaccination movements have gained traction around the world, including in the Philippines. 'Salubong', a Filipino term, refers to welcoming someone back into one's life and elicits ideas about friendship and family relationships. We extended this concept to vaccines in efforts to design an intervention that would re-welcome vaccines into homes. METHODS: Using human-centred d…
Calculation, knowledge, and identity
Vaccine hesitancy threatens the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and to other infectious disease outbreaks globally. Fostering trust has been highlighted as a critical factor in addressing vaccine hesitancy and expanding vaccine coverage, but qualitative exploration of trust in the context of vaccination remains limited. We contribute to filling this gap by providing a comprehensive qualitative analysis of trust in the context of COVID-19 vaccin…
Deliberation, context, emotion and trust – understanding the dynamics of adults’ Covid-19 vaccination decisions in Germany
German Clinical Trials Register ( DRKS00024505 )
Bargaining and gendered authority
INTRODUCTION: Targeted vaccination promotion efforts aimed at building vaccine confidence require an in-depth understanding of how and by whom decisions about vaccinating children are made. While several studies have highlighted how parents interact with other stakeholders when discussing childhood vaccination, less is known about the way in which vaccination uptake is negotiated within households. METHODS: We conducted 44 in-depth interviews wit…
Highly valued despite burdens
Antigen-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for SARS-CoV-2 have good reliability and have been repeatedly implemented as part of pandemic response policies, especially for screening in high-risk settings (e.g., hospitals and care homes) where fast recognition of an infection is essential. However, evidence from actual implementation efforts and associated experiences is lacking. We conducted a qualitative study at a large tertiary care hospital i…
Misinformation, infighting, backlash, and an ‘endless’ recovery; policymakers recount challenges and mitigating measures after a vaccine scare in the Philippines
BACKGROUND: Vaccine scares undermine longstanding global health achievements. Remarkably little data has documented the lived experiences of policymakers working amidst vaccine scares and navigating their fallout. As a result, chances and challenges of large-scale national recuperation efforts are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the perspectives of policymakers involved in ongoing efforts to boost vaccine confidence in th…
Understanding how social support influences peer-delivered HIV prevention interventions among Ugandan female sex workers
In Uganda, social support (e.g., informational, instrumental, and emotional support) among FSW peers can work in ways that both motivate and discourage peer-delivered intervention uptake. Future FSW peer-delivered HIV prevention interventions should be designed around the dimensions of social support within FSW peer networks to maximize initial and repeat intervention delivery and uptake
Scared, powerless, insulted and embarrassed
BACKGROUND: Several studies have highlighted that vaccine hesitancy (VH) is among the most important threats to global health, especially in low- and middle-income countries, including the Philippines. However, there is a dearth of literature exploring family experiences of-or concerns related to-childhood vaccinations that gives voice to vaccine hesitant caregivers (VHCs) of small children. Here, we present insights from VHCs from the Philippine…
Nudging toward vaccination
Unintended uses, meanings, and consequences
Female sex workers (FSWs) are at increased risk of HIV and face significant barriers to clinic-based HIV testing, including provider stigma and privacy constraints. HIV self-testing (HIVST) has been proven to significantly increase HIV testing among FSWs. Less is known, however, about how FSWs make meaning of oral-fluid HIV self-tests, and the unintended ways they use and understand this novel technology. From October 2016 to March 2017, we condu…
But I Gathered My Courage
HIV self-testing (HIVST) increases HIV testing in diverse populations, but little is known about the experiences of individuals who self-test. We used a five-step framework approach to analyze 62 qualitative interviews with 33 female sex workers (FSWs) participating in an HIVST trial in urban Uganda. Notions of empowerment emerged from the data, and findings were interpreted based on Kabeer's empowerment framework of resources, agency, and achiev…
