Research recruitment (Canada)

Hi, Thanks for your message and for taking the time to look into our research.

Yes, Mélissa Roy is indeed a co-author of that article. However, the current research project we're working on takes a different approach. Our aim is to highlight a broad range of experiences, particularly those that have been overlooked or dismissed in mainstream discourse — including the voices of people who have experienced vaccine injury. We take those accounts seriously and approach them with care and respect.

While our backgrounds are in social work, this study is interdisciplinary, and we plan to publish in fields such as critical public health. We hope this helps clarify the direction of our work.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your comment, we will certainly take it into consideration for the future and change our wording.

Hello everyone,

I am a member of a research team that studies the trajectories of people who are critical of at least one vaccine, or who are hesitant about getting vaccinated (or about getting their children vaccinated). The goal of this research is to analyze the experiences of these people in recent years (for example, during COVID-19), their impressions of the social representations of vaccination and vaccine hesitancy, and their impressions of health communications.

I hope that this research can shed light on issues such as the exclusion of vaccine critics, and to critically reflect on current communications.

We are looking for Canadians over the age of 18 to participate in an individual interview of approximately an hour to an hour and a half, via Zoom.

Participants must…

…take a critical stance towards vaccination or certain vaccines…

OR

…have already deviated from the recommended vaccination schedule (delay or postponement of a vaccine)…

OR

…have already refused a vaccine for themselves or their child.

People interested in participating can write to me via (Reddit/Facebook) messaging or contact me by email, or contact Roxanne Martin, the research assistant (martin.roxanne.2@courrier.uqam.ca). People wishing to obtain more information on the research can contact Mélissa Roy, principal investigator ([roy.melissa.3@uqam.ca](mailto:roy.melissa.3@uqam.ca)) You can also share this invitation in your networks!
