Diné Teachings and Public Health Students Informing Peers and Relatives about Vaccine Education (RAVE) Project & Interview with Parents about COVID-19 Vaccinations for Children

November 23, 2022 • Season 4 • Episode 1

Diné College students and hosts Timeka Watchman, Crystanna Begay, Wahleah Watson, and Mariah Lee discuss their work in the PUH 299 Special Topics in Public Health course that was part of a research project titled Diné Teachings and Public Health Students Informing Peers and Relatives about Vaccine Education (RAVE). The students took on the role of health messengers and provided COVID-19 vaccine education to their peers and relatives. The students also interviewed two mothers, Kyann Dedman-Cisco and Karina Watson, as they share their experiences with their decision to vaccinate their child and how they talked to their child about COVID-19 and the vaccine.

This project was supported by NIH GM123550 and approved by the Navajo Nation Human Research Review Board (NNR-18-302).
