Our research project, which aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the embodied experiential motivations underlying vaccine hesitancy, has now concluded after four years of implementation.
The project combined phenomenological philosophy with qualitative empirical research. It involved in-depth qualitative interviews, focusing on how bodily experience shapes people’s attitudes toward vaccination and other preventive health measures.
The results of the project have been presented in scientific articles (10 articles published or submitted), discussed at nearly 30 academic events in Latvia and abroad, and summarised in a recommendation report aimed at improving public health communication. Further information is available in the sectionsEvents” un “Results”.
The project team extends its sincere gratitude to the research participants who generously shared their time and experiences. Their openness and trust were essential to the successful completion of this research.
