Ulrich, Angela K.; McKearnan, Shannon B.; Lammert, Sara; Wolfson, Julian; Pletcher, Jonathan; Halloran, M. Elizabeth; Basta, Nicole E. – Journal of American College Health, 2022
After an outbreak of meningococcal B (MenB) disease at a university, we surveyed students regarding their vaccination status 2 months and 20 months after campus-led vaccination campaigns and compared students' self-report to vaccination records. Nearly all participants accurately reported the number of vaccine doses at both visits. Among those who…

Rojo, Elizabeth M.; Taylor, Kelly D.; McFarland, Willi – Health Education & Behavior, 2023
Despite widespread availability of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines and recommendations for routine use, awareness and uptake of HPV vaccination are not universal. We assessed self-reported history of HPV vaccination in a sample of low-income men and women recruited from the community using respondent-driven sampling as part of the National HIV…

Gandhi, Subi; Harris Bozer, Amber – Journal of American College Health, 2022
Objective: To investigate influenza vaccination rates and perceptions underlying vaccine noncompliance. Participants: Participants included undergraduate students (N = 365) at a rural, medium-sized university in Texas. Methods: Students were anonymously surveyed in the spring of 2018 on demographics, insurance status, perceived barriers of…

Parsons, Joanne; Grimley, Catherine; Newby, Katie – Health Education & Behavior, 2022
Background: Pregnant women are at increased risk of complications from flu, but uptake of flu vaccination is below 75% targets. Evidence suggests that changing illness risk appraisals may increase vaccination behaviour. In 2018-2019, researchers, public health specialists, and pregnant women co-designed a short animation targeting (unhelpful)…

Cetinkaya, Ertan; Saribas, Deniz – Science & Education, 2023
In a pandemic era, it is necessary to equip individuals with the ability to make informed decisions about health issues, especially in relation to viruses and vaccines. In order to achieve this goal, science educators need to explore students' decisions and reasoning about vaccination. The aim of the study reported in the paper, therefore, is to…

Greyson, Devon; Dubé, Ève; Fisher, William A.; Cook, Jocelynn; Sadarangani, Manish; Bettinger, Julie A. – Health Education & Behavior, 2021
To improve uptake of influenza vaccine in pregnancy, it is important to understand the factors that predict prenatal vaccination. The aim of this study was to test the capability of the theory of planned behavior, augmented with information constructs, to predict and explain influenza vaccination uptake in a sample of 600 pregnant individuals in…

Since autumn 2020, boys in the fifth year of school (11-year-old students) in Sweden have been offered human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for free. Drawing from individual interviews with 21 school nurses working in primary schools in one of Sweden's regions, the aim of this study was to explore nurses' strategies and experiences of informing…

Kimberly McNally; Amira Roess; Ali Weinstein; Lisa Lindley; Robin Wallin – Journal of School Nursing, 2024
Understanding the school nurse's experience in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine promotion can reduce vaccine disparities. HPV vaccination is critical to cancer prevention. Despite the importance of the school nurse in vaccine promotion, there is a lack of understanding. This article aims to examine the knowledge, attitude, experience, and role…

Cottone, Dina M.; McCabe, Paul C. – School Psychology, 2022
Human history is replete with pandemics caused by virulent diseases that have produced overwhelming suffering and death. Our future will require swift, sensible, and near-universal vaccine response as viruses evolve and thrive. When viruses like COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 emerge and mutate, vaccine researchers must be nimble and responsive to quickly…

The gap in knowledge and information-seeking between high and low socioeconomic status (SES) has been well documented. This study extends this knowledge gap hypothesis to narrative persuasion in the context of parents' knowledge and information-seeking intention concerning adolescents' COVID-19 vaccination. It specifically tests if the gap is…

Wolfe, Christopher R.; Gao, Hongli; Wu, Junjie; Wang, Yizhu; Marroquín, Josselyn E.; Brace, Wylie – Written Communication, 2023
Guided by argumentation schema theory, we conducted five psychological studies in the United States and China on arguments about vaccination. Study 1 replicated research about arguments on several topics, finding that agreement judgments are weighted toward claims, whereas quality judgments are weighted toward reasons. However, consistent with…
