Participants sought for studies Would You Like to Participate in a Research Study on Vaccination in Pregnancy?
We are recruiting participants for an interview study (VIPS-Q) at Karolinska Institutet. The purpose of the study is to understand how women reason about vaccination in pregnancy. The researchers aim to identify which factors make it easier or more difficult to choose whether or not to get vaccinated during pregnancy.
Who Can Participate?
Women who gave birth 3–12 months ago, received antenatal care at a midwifery clinic in Sweden, regardless of whether they chose to vaccinate during pregnancy or not.
About the Study
After you have registered your interest, a study coordinator will contact you within approximately 3 weeks. You will get more information about the study, the opportunity to ask questions about the study design, and the option to give your consent to participate in an interview at a time that suits you.
The interview can be conducted either in person at Karolinska Institutet or online. During the interview, a researcher will ask questions about your thoughts and experiences regarding vaccination in pregnancy. You decide what you feel comfortable sharing. The interview takes about 60–90 minutes, will be audio-recorded, and your responses will be handled confidentially. All information will be stored securely at Karolinska Institutet.
