NCT ID NCT07672886
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses a questionnaire to explore what parents know and how they feel about vaccinating their children. Researchers will survey parents of children under 18 admitted to a hospital in Romania, looking at factors like trust in doctors, sources of information, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal is to identify why some parents hesitate or refuse vaccines, which could help improve communication and increase vaccination rates.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors and public health officials better address parents' concerns and improve vaccination rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational survey, not a treatment trial. It cannot directly change vaccine uptake, and results may not apply to all populations.
