Abstract
Introduction:
A large prospective randomised clinical trial in Denmark is planned to test the hypothesis that compared to non-BCG-vaccinated infants, infants who are BCG vaccinated at birth experience less hospitalisations, use less antibiotics, and develop less atopic disease in early childhood.
My focus for this project is decision making.
Method:
During the next year all parents planning to give birth at Kolding Hospital will be offered inclusion in the study . In the 2nd/3rd trimester they will receive a letter with information on the study and afterward the local PhD-students or a research assistant will call the families and ask them whether they are willing to participate in the study. After the family have made their choice a structured interview with the families will be conducted. Here we ask about the parents’ age, job and dwelling. As a part of the interview, I will use AM O' Connors 'Decisional Conflict scale' to compare decisional conflicts for the parents that accept BCG vaccination and parents who do not accept the BCG vaccination of their newborn child.
