The Impact of Community and Patient Engagement Practices on Vaccine Confidence in the United States

Community engagement includes pre- and post-approval clinical trials that partnered and engaged with diverse public and patient communities; trusted community leaders; local advocacy groups; faith-based and civic organizations; community influencers; community health and government health communities.

Patient-centric clinical trial designs include those that solicited patient, investigative site and community input into protocol design and clinical trial feasibility; offered solutions that improved patient participation convenience and access; and that more fully and effectively communicated clinical trial knowledge to diverse public and patient communities, health care providers and community influencers.
