Which questions would parents want a decision aid to make room for?
This study follows how a parent-facing decision aid was developed. The design process is the evidence, distinct from whether the tool changes vaccination decisions.
Who was studied?
Parents interviewed about information needs, with a prototype refined through repeated development cycles.
Age / stage: Childhood vaccination decisions
Read with three questions
- Which design revisions came from parents during testing?
- How did participant input translate into a change in the design?
- Where in the decision process could the child, the parent and the clinician express different priorities?
Keep the limits in view
Participation in designing a tool does not prove that using it changes decisions or outcomes. Findings depend on which stakeholders took part in development and testing.
