No need(le) to worry

Share:

No need(le) to worry is seeking to address needle fear in childhood and adolescence which affects around 50% of children and adolescents worldwide, and can have wide reaching impacts.

A prototype self-help resource has been co-designed to help reduce needle fear in children receiving school vaccinations and needle-based procedures in hospitals and primary care clinics. This prototype will be used in a feasibility study before it is finalised and further evaluations are planned evaluated and finalised.
