Abstract

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) imposes a large disease burden on a global level. Public awareness of RSV is important to support preventive interventions. In this study, Google Trends and a social listening tool, Brand24, were compared for measuring changes in public awareness levels of RSV. Google Trends is recommended for future research, as it is more sensitive, cost-free and open access.
