Abstract

www.vhguide.ca](http://www.vhguide.ca)) which was launched in July 2021. That website supports PCPs in having conversations that will improve vaccine confidence (Funding Objective 2). Our team will conduct interviews that a) identify the origins of VH in marginalized groups; and b) draw out specific conversational approaches for effectively dealing with those types of VH. We will then iterate, improve, and evaluate the website using the material we gather in the interviews and from user analytics. Those analytics will be gathered in real time from the website as PCPs' use it, and through surveys asking about user experiences. The project will improve vaccine confidence and uptake.
