AB OBJECTIVES: to raise awareness and provide basic elements to members of
NGOs on the issue of vaccine trials and organization of cohorts in
Brazil, in order to follow up, criticize, support and give autonomous
opinions on the subject. METHODS: communication group exercises.
Initially we discuss about feelings and previous experiences on other
vaccines, introducing the concepts of therapeutic, prophylactic,
efficacy, access. Then we expose basic facts on vaccine trials (Phases
I/II/III, etc) and the process in Brazil. Afterwards we discuss some
examples of informed consent and the role of NGOs. Finally we ask to
fill a questionnaire for evaluation. RESULTS: In 1993 we performed six
workshops with 10 participants each (average). The evaluation showed the
will and need for further discussion in and among NGOs and with health
Institutions. DISCUSSIONS & CONCLUSIONS: health workers showed
increasing interest on the workshop which could be also useful for
members of cohorts.
