Project Description
STAMP RSV is a multifaceted program of work with the single focus to prepare the community for the uptake of emerging RSV immunisation strategies by providing the evidence to inform public health policy.
This project is focused on 4 key interrelated aims, each aim includes specific objectives and uses wide-ranging methodologies, drawing on the expertise of the multidisciplinary investigator team.
- Aim 1 – Raising Community Awareness
- Aim 2 – Enhancing Surveillance
- Aim 3 – Population Dynamics
- Aim 4 – Public Health Impact
The overarching methodology is epidemiological data analysis of real-world data, taking advantage of WA’s unique data resources and meaningful connections with stakeholders in the research, community and health services sector.
STAMP-RSV is guided by a community reference group with lived experiences of RSV. The goal is to translate research findings into effective and efficient RSV control policies to reduce the health and economic burden of RSV. We will create a respiratory infection platform that can be adapted for other viruses (e.g, parainfluenza, human metapneumovirus) likely to be on vaccine development pathways.
