Sponsored by Nepal Health Research Council · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
This study is designed to assess the impact of the first introduction of microscope-based health education on people's attitude and practice towards disease prevention in Nepal, measured by vaccine acceptance rate. Such health education has an important role to play in communities where vaccine acceptance is low.
Nepal Health Research Council is the lead sponsor of 8 studies on the registry; 1 is open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants allocated in this arm will be approached for a workshop related to microbe literacy. Using a microscope, live demonstration of the biological samples brought by the participants will be carried out by the team of researchers. Participants will be assisted to place biological materials under the microscope, manipulate the slides and discover the profusion of microbial life from the immediate environment. The session will be followed by question and answer round related to concurrent hygiene practices and basic sanitation to prevent infections including vaccines.
Other: Microbe literacy Program in the form of workshop
Participants in this arm will be consented for the study and baseline data collection will be made but there will not be any intervention. Data will be collected for baseline as well as post interventional vaccination status among the studied population.
Two to Three hours of workshop on microbe literacy will be conducted as an intervention. Workshop includes discussion on various common microorganisms causing diseases, their sources, relationship with surroundings and management. Prime focus of the session will be on management via treatments and risk reduction via vaccination.
Differential vaccine acceptance rates between intervention and control group
Data will be collected for baseline as well as post intervention after 3 months of workshop. For both the intervention and control group, number of vaccinated among the participants for provided COVID-19 vaccine and Typhoid vaccine will be made. Comparative analysis will be made in both the study groups before and after the intervention program.
Time frame: Within 3 months of intervention
