About

This study examines a program that helps health students learn how to talk about vaccines and misinformation. It uses online and in-person simulations with actors playing patients who are unsure about vaccines. Students from different health fields work together, learning skills like listening and responding kindly. The program aims to boost their confidence in handling tough conversations about vaccines. Results show that students felt more prepared after the training, especially when working with peers from other professions. The goal is for future healthcare workers to better address vaccine hesitancy influenced by misinformation.
