Abstract

This project covers the importance of patient education, and the decisions that go into making patient facing materials. The topic of this piece is “Understanding Vaccines” and will explore several key aspects: what vaccines are, how they work, their important role in public health, and how to best communicate with patient audiences. Given the growing challenges in vaccine education, this piece will address common misconceptions and emphasize the importance of clear, accessible communication. The goal of this piece is to educate, but also to encourage individuals to make well-informed decisions regarding vaccination. The artwork created for this thesis was developed from an original script, built out into a storyboard, then further developed into a 3D animation. The pieces developed for this thesis will be used by Rochester Clinical Research, Inc to aid their current patient education tools. A brief history of the field of clinical trial research is touched on, as well as the importance of the existence of clinical trials.
