WHAT IS A JOURNEY MAP?

The ‘Journey to Vaccination’ is a framework to consider every point of the vaccination experience: before, during and after the point of vaccination.

Journey Map

WHY WE USE A JOURNEY MAP:

  1. Considering every stage in the ‘Journey to Immunization’ forces us to look beyond knowledge and awareness for solutions.

  • Tackle overwhelming challenges by dissecting them into smaller and more approachable barriers — and solve for them one by one.

Identify ‘barriers’ to seeking/supporting immunization

Barriers can be experienced by each persona at every step of the Journey. There are barriers to seeking immunization (caregivers) and barriers to supporting immunization (influencers).

Map barriers to the intent to seek immunization (for caregivers)

example: The mother heard from her neighbor that the health workers use expired vaccines on the children in public facilities.

Map barriers to the intent to support immunization (for influencers)

example: The father doesn’t know if people in his community support immunization, so he follows what his peers and elders tell him.

Identify ‘enablers’ to positively support or make attending immunization services easy

Enablers are also experienced by each persona at every step of the Journey. Enablers are people, platforms, or activities that provide positive influences that make attending services easier.

People are enablers that create social norms

example: Who they listen to or look to for advice when a barrier arises (HCW, family, community leader, religious leaders, etc). �

Platforms are enablers that provide social influence

example: Mass media channels that they tune into, social media channels they follow, traditional celebration or folk theatre they attend, etc.�

Activities are enablers that make services easier to remember and attend

example: Concrete thinking on action steps to help ‘automate’ attending each appointment.

Showing ideas early invites feedback on existing ideas and generation of new ideas. These are rational hunches for what might work.

Identifying starting ideas BEFORE research allows us to:

  • Learn from past experiences of partners and experts
  • Gather local feedback
  • Invite new ideas from the community
  • Identify what we don’t know

STARTING IDEAS

BARRIERS TO ACTION

Fathers in the community have misconceptions about the vaccines; who should receive them, when/where vaccines are available and what the side effects are.

STARTING IDEA

Organize peer to peer sessions for discussion and guidance.

Organize regular father group gatherings during which fathers can discuss their fears and share positive experiences.

STARTING IDEAS

BARRIERS TO ACTION

Mothers have many children and many other responsibilities and minor inconveniences can deter them from acting on their intentions.

STARTING IDEA

Provide non-monetary incentives that reduce the “cost” of going to the immunization clinic.

For full immunization:

a set of tin plates

For immunization visit:

small bag of lentils

Caregivers

STARTING IDEAS

BARRIERS TO ACTION

Lack of recognition can be demotivating and make health workers less effective.

STARTING IDEA

Create recognition and a tracking system so they can easily see their progress

Health workers

Provide feedback on progress and a way for health workers to see their own progress.

STARTING IDEAS

BARRIERS TO ACTION

Using or participating in this health service is not a common or supported practice.

Caregivers do not see or hear of others going for immunization and do not know community rates.

STARTING IDEA

Provide social proof displays and feedback on the community to caregivers.

Badge:

My child is immunized!

8 of 10 children in this community are fully vaccinated

Community

CATALOGUE OF BEHAVIORAL NUDGES

Use language that highlights the caregiver’s identity as a protector.

Commitment devices: Provide prompts to write down and create commitment.

Provide trainings to health workers on interpersonal communications and how to engage with marginalized groups.

Provide non-monetary incentives that reduce the “cost” of going to the immunization clinic.

Present the choice on vaccination with presumptive language, with vaccination being the default.

Provide feedback on progress and a way for health workers to see their own progress.

Provide social proof displays and feedback from the community to the caregiver.

Organize peer to peer sessions for discussion and guidance.

Practical knowledge: Provide timely and attention-catching reminders to the caregiver.

In application

The team will identify ALL obstacles, all enablers and multiple starting ideas at each stage. Complete the journey for EACH of the personas.

In a training

The trainer asks teams to identify ONE obstacle, one enabler and one starting idea at each stage. Focus on the journey for ONE persona only.

In your group:

(1) Think about your ONE persona and identify at least ONE obstacle and one enabler at each stage of the journey.

(2) Think of one starting idea per stage that could help you solve the obstacle (if needed, use the catalogue of behavioral nudges and adapt them to your obstacle and your persona).

(3) Select the best ideas, the ones that are most relevant to your persona, obstacle and enabler.

HUMAN CENTRED DESIGN TRAINING WORKBOOK

28 of 30

Identify ‘barriers’ to seeking/supporting immunization

AVOID: beliefs (too general)

INSTEAD, TRY: Misinformation from HCWs - health workers pass on misinformation due to traditional beliefs. Fear of the community’s reaction.

Identify ‘enablers’ to positively support or make attending immunization services easy

AVOID: information (ignores full journey)

INSTEAD, TRY: Fathers, if well informed can support the caregivers’ decision to immunize. Health workers have the authority to improve service schedule and delivery.

Identify 1-3 starting ideas per persona

AVOID: community consultation (unrealistic, doesn’t respond to human motivations)

INSTEAD, TRY: SMS text reminders to health workers to show appreciation and provide links to quick refresher videos. SMS text reminders to caregivers to remind them of the vaccination schedule.
