Parental Perception of COVID-19 Vaccine in Technology Dependent Patients
United States60 participantsStarted 2021-09-23
Plain-language summary
This study involves conducting a telephonic or in person survey regarding parental perception and attitudes about vaccinating the respective "technology dependent" child with the COVID 19 vaccination. "Technology dependent" includes tracheostomy dependence, artificial ventilator dependence and non invasive mechanical ventilation dependence. This population is vulnerable since most patients have underlying lung disease, chronic respiratory failure and require respiratory equipment to assist with breathing. "Technology dependent" patients are particularly vulnerable to respiratory infections and are considered high risk for developing severe COVID 19 illness. Despite this population's high risk for morbidity and mortality from respiratory viral infections, the investigator hypothesize that 50% of the parents are still vaccine hesitant.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
