Applying PICO to a Public Health scenarioA group of children come down with measles. The parents are concerned about the potential health risks of vaccinations and have decided not to have their children receive the MMR vaccination. You need to develop an intervention/education program to increase the likelihood parents will vaccinate their kids.
P = Population parents of children with measles
I = Intervention education program
C = Comparison parent group not educated
O = Outcomes ↑ MMR vaccine rate↓ measles among children
