Summary

This community-based mixed methods study intends to identify, explore, and assess the determinants of community preparedness for outbreak situations, including acceptance for Ebola vaccines.

Detailed description

This community-based study intends to identify, explore, and assess the determinants of community preparedness for outbreak situations and acceptance for the administration of Ebola vaccination. The investigators will conduct an anthropologically driven mixed methods study design that comprises both qualitative and quantitative research methods for the successful implementation of this community-based study. The investigators will conduct structured interviews with community members and local responders to broadly assess and understand the perspectives regarding appropriate strategies previously employed to effectively support community preparedness during outbreak response and also to broadly access and understand appropriate strategies previously employed to effectively support community acceptance for Ebola vaccines, respectively. Learning from the experiences of local voices produces globally emergent systems that are trusted, reliable and sustainable.
