Building on the successful outcomes of two special issues (read more here & here) on COVID-19 in collaboration with the peer-reviewed Journal Health Policy and Technology, the VheP group is running a global internet-based survey in 22 countries that explores population preferences for vaccines and related policy restrictions in the event of future pandemic. The survey collects information on vaccination and policy restrictions preferences, political opinions, and a wide range of health and economic outcomes.
The unprecedented toll of the COVID-19 and the emergence of new COVID-19 variants calls for universal, fair, vaccination coverage. This project aims at establishing important cross-country policy learnings that can guide the design of current and future vaccination campaigns to maximise uptake, as well to optimise behavioural responses to policy.
Our team is composed of outstanding scholars from different universities around the world. Our researchers are internationally recognised experts in the design and implementation of experimental studies that explore preferences and behaviours in the health, social and political spheres.
Currently, the team is running the first wave of the project in Australia, Brazil, Chile, Croatia, France, India, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. We welcome collaborators that are willing to contribute to expanding the countries covered in our study. Additionally, collaborators who wish to facilitate recruitment in the existing countries are encouraged to get in touch.
