Researchers Develop VIP Canada Vaccine Communication Intervention
Canadian researchers led by Eliana Castillo publish in 2025 a co-designed multicomponent intervention, VIP Canada, to improve vaccination in pregnancy. The intervention bundles DECIDE—a pregnancy-specific communication approach—an online skills course, a practice change plan, and an evidence-based website, refined through user co-design and usability testing. Authors report a feasibility study as the next step to integrate the package into clinical workflows and support informed vaccine decisions.
Key Points
- 1Developed VIP Canada: four integrated components including DECIDE communication, skills course, practice plan, website.
- 2Addressed clinician-patient communication barriers to vaccination using co-design and behavior-change frameworks.
- 3Enables scalable clinician training and patient-facing resources to support informed pregnancy vaccine decisions.
Scoring Rationale
Provides a rigorously co-designed, usable vaccination communication package, but addresses a narrow, non-technical clinical domain limiting broad data-science impact.
