Improving COVID-19 vaccine uptake: a message co-design process for a national mHealth intervention in Colombia
CONCLUSIONS: Co-developing health messages in response to health emergencies is possible. Adopting more context-relevant, participatory, people-centred, and reflexive multidisciplinary approaches could help develop solutions that are more responsive to the needs of populations and public health priorities. Investing resources in message co-design is deemed to have a greater potential for influencing behaviours and improving health outcomes.PMID:37643136 | PMC:PMC10467523 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2023.2242670 (Source: Global Health Action)
