Understanding Yukoners'
Attitudes Towards Vaccines (ATV)
Who we are.
We are community members, experts, and researchers, working together to learn about how Yukoners make vaccine-related decisions, so that we can help Yukon communities be better prepared for future health emergencies.
Decolonizing research starts with a community-led team structure.
Steering Committee
Our Steering Committee provides technical advice to the research team, ensures the incorporation of community perspectives in all stages of the project, and will guide the communication of the results once the project is complete.
