COVID-19 vaccine information perspectives and needs of youth living with mental health concerns: a co-developed qualitative study based in Canada
Our findings suggest that youth with mental health concerns have unique information needs and processing patterns influenced by their environments and experiences with mental health concerns. Participants identified barriers to receiving reliable health information and suggested ways to improve this process.
