Reducing Children's Distress Towards Flu Vaccinations

NCT01529021 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 57

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Millions of children in North America receive an annual flu vaccination, many of whom are at risk of experiencing severe distress. Children frequently use technologically advanced devices such as computers and cell phones. Based on this familiarity, the investigators introduced another sophisticated device - a humanoid robot to- interact with children during their vaccination. The investigators hypothesized that these children would experience less distress than children who did not have this interaction.
