Development of an interactive social media tool for parents with concerns about vaccines.
The researchers describe a process for designing, building, and evaluating a theory-driven social media intervention tool to help reduce parental concerns about vaccination. Based on focus groups, interviews, and usability evaluations, they made revisions to the tool’s content, design, functionality, and overall look and feel. They concluded that engaging parents at all stages of development is critical when designing a tool to address concerns about childhood vaccines.
