VaxDA-C19 integrates interactive and personalized features aimed to enhance vaccine confidence, reduce cognitive overload, and respond to diverse informational needs.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n VaxDA-C19 was developed using an iterative, user-centered design approach. Throughout the development process, we involved a citizen panel, health care professionals, user experience designers, and scientific experts to guide refinements. We also conducted usability testing sessions with adults in Canada, using semistructured interviews, comparative testing, and think-aloud protocols with thematic analysis. We ultimately conducted 4 design cycles in total with adults in Canada (users) and expert reviewers (experts). Cycle 1 involved 9 people (9 users), cycle 2 involved 22 people (22 users), cycle 3 involved 9 people (3 users and 6 experts), and cycle 4 involved 9 people (9 experts).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n In cycle 1, user feedback guided design decisions about how to present quantitative information and technical vaccine descriptions more simply. In cycle 2, while most users (9\/11, 82%) favored in-depth explanations of vaccine development, a few raised concerns about content that could be perceived as politically charged. Cycle 3 identified usability improvements, including more explicit navigation controls, simplified medical terminology, and optimized interactive components (avatars and sliders). Expert reviews in cycle 4 refined linguistic consistency, mobile responsiveness, content transparency, and scientific accuracy, emphasizing explicit instructional guidance and bilingual accessibility.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Our iterative process produced a personalized, bilingual digital decision aid to support evidence-informed, values-congruent decisions about COVID-19 vaccination. A randomized controlled trial will further evaluate VaxDA-C19\u2019s impact on vaccination intentions, knowledge retention, emotional responses, decisional conflict, and decisional regret. If it proves effective, the patient decision aid may also be used as a platform to support other vaccine decisions, namely, influenza, measles, shingles, pertussis, and potentially other emerging infectious diseases.<\/jats:p>\n
