Description

The New Education Model (NETM) is a "structured, theory-informed, and interactive educational intervention" grounded in Social Cognitive Theory and the Information Processing Model. Unlike passive information delivery, NETM "adopts an interactive, individualized, and feedback-oriented framework that actively engages parents in the learning process and targets the deconstruction of vaccine-related misinformation". Content covers scientific foundations of vaccination, the neonatal immunization schedule, and deconstruction of common misconceptions, delivered one-on-one with structured question-and-answer sessions and visual and written materials supported by peer-reviewed evidence. In this study it was validated by a five-expert panel and delivered individually by a trained researcher midwife and a specialist neonatologist.
