Demand-side enablers and barriers to epidemic preparedness: a mixed-method approach to understand priorities, acceptance and effective strategies for Ebola vaccines
REFNo: HS6132ES
The objective of this study is to examine demand-side factors that influence (enable or hinder) epidemic preparedness, with a focus on licensed Ebola vaccines. Specifically, it aims to visually identify and map key influencing factors, and to adequately translate their effects into quantitative models. This translation is critical, as decision-makers frequently rely on models—such as disease transmission models—to guide outbreak response strategies. Modeling has the potential to demonstrate the impact of specific interventions (e.g., additional training, improved guidelines, or the provision of dedicated funding) on vaccine use.
This case study explores priorities and acceptance regarding licensed Ebola vaccines among decision makers. It also examines how these perceptions shift under different vaccination strategies, including reactive vaccination (during an outbreak) versus preventive vaccination (outside of an outbreak).
More specifically, the studies objectives are to:
1. Identify and map key influences or determinants of vaccine use in Uganda through a conceptual systems diagram (e.g., perceptions of personal risk, fear of vaccine side effects), building on key informant interviews and group model building workshops.
2. Develop and validate a quantitative simulation model evaluating the impact of various vaccination strategies and interventions on vaccine use over time.
3. Derive insights from the diagram and model to inform policy and strategic decision-making at local and national levels regarding Ebola vaccine implementation.
In short, the study will develop a visual representation of the problem space that can guide both policy and practice.
