Research on the Risk of Bias in Vaccine Effectiveness
Many studies on vaccines use complex and technical language that is hard to understand and interpret. We’re hoping to change this so that these studies can be communicated more clearly, transparently, and in a trustworthy way.
Our goal is to improve the quality of the information on vaccines that people rely on when making an informed choice about vaccination for themselves and their families.
To help with this, we’re inviting older adults (over the age of 60) to participate in an online focus group to
discuss:
●What kind of vaccine-related information matters most to you?
●What makes research easy or hard to understand?
●What helps you trust information about vaccines?
Your feedback will directly shape how future vaccine research is shared and communicated with the public.
What to expect:
●The discussion will happen online with about 5 to 8 participants
●It will last about 90 minutes with easy participation requirements
●Attendance and participation include $50 in compensation
Additional details:
This study has been approved by the Health Sciences and Science Research Ethics Board of the University of Ottawa and funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
If you are interested in participating in a focus group or would like more information, please email RoB-VE.Project@uottawa.ca .
We truly value your time and voice - your perspectives will help make vaccine research clearer for everyone. If you are aware of other people who may be interested in participating in this study, please consider sharing this invitation.
Thank you for considering this invitation. We look forward to hearing from you.
