This article describes a study that aimed to examine the                    measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination scare, its impact on parents of                    young children, and its effect on their need for information. Seventeen                    semi-structured interviews were carried out with parents in Sheffield, UK.                    Analysis of the interview transcripts revealed several categories including the                    one presented in this article, \u2018Information and the MMR                    vaccine\u2019. The health scare increased parents\u2019 information                    needs in relation to their decision whether to have their child vaccinated.                    Parents viewed traditional sources of information critically as they did not                    consider them to be trustworthy. Parents considered trustworthiness of the                    information source to be an important factor. Ongoing work in this area is                    investigating these issues through a large-scale, quantitative study.<\/jats:bold>\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1460458204040664","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,4,21]],"date-time":"2004-04-21T19:52:37Z","timestamp":1082577157000},"page":"5-22","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["The Impact of Health Scares on Parents\u2019 Information Needs and                Preferred Information Sources: A Case Study of the MMR Vaccine Scare"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Louise R.","family":"Guillaume","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter A.","family":"Bath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Studies, University of Sheffield, Centre for                        Health Information Management Research (CHIMR), University of Sheffield,                        Sheffield, UK Tel: 44 (0) 114 2222636"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","unstructured":"1 Burns F.
