While most adolescents experience mild-COVID-19 infection, those with underlying medical conditions have an increased risk of severe health outcomes. Furthermore, compared other pediatric populations, experienced higher rates COVID-19–associated hospitalization. COVID-19 vaccine decision-making in during surges is not well understood. Our objective was to explore factors influencing parental and adolescents’ the Omicron winter 2021/2022 surge. Participants were recruited from academic...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) worldwide and associated with various cancers, including cervical oropharyngeal cancers. Despite availability of effective vaccines, significant disparities in HPV vaccination rates persist, particularly among racial ethnic minorities, such as Korean Americans. Cultural stigma, language barriers, limited access to tailored health information contribute these disparities. This study aimed develop evaluate...

Participants were adolescents adults SCD caregivers children SCD. proceeded in three phases: 1) focus...
Understanding where adolescents obtain information about human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines may be helpful in designing public health interventions promoting HPV vaccination. This study assessed the following: (1) exposure to specific sources of vaccines, (2) self-reported helpfulness these information, and (3) whether source was associated with knowledge perceptions among adolescent girls. There were 339 girls (mean age = 16.8 years) recruited into study. Television advertisements,...
School nurses are at the intersection of healthcare and school communities, thus, they can be considered opinion leaders in providing health advice – including information about human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to parents students. This study examined nurses' attitudes toward HPV based on age, years as a nurse, geographic location, urban vs. rural work setting, knowledge, perception role leaders, district support education. Participants (n = 413) were systematically sampled from National...
Background Behavioral health disorders have steadily increased and been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Though behavioral can be successfully mitigated with early implementation of evidence-based parent management strategies, education for pediatric residents on anticipatory guidance has limited to date, training challenges compounded physical distancing requirements Virtual reality (VR) simulations provide an opportunity train this complex competency allowing deliberate practice...
We performed a secondary analysis of Adolescent Health Risk Behavior Survey data ( N = 937), examining associations between lifetime alcohol and marijuana use with intrapersonal (i.e., risk perceptions) interpersonal (e.g., peer approval behavior) factors. Multinomial binary logistic regression analyses contend students reporting use-compared to who had never used or marijuana-perceived lower p < .001), higher friend drinking greater .003). Using both in one's life was associated being...
Vaccinations represent one of the greatest public health achievements past century, but their success largely depends on populations' uptake. Seven years after its approval in 2006 for females, HPV vaccination rates remain relatively low. Previous literature provides information about research examining U.S. physicians, pediatricians, and other healthcare providers' knowledge, attitudes, professional practice toward vaccine. No has yet investigated school nurses' role educating community...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates fall far short of Healthy People 2020 objectives. A leading reason is that clinicians do not recommend the vaccine consistently and strongly to girls boys in age group recommended for vaccination. Although Web-based HPV educational interventions have been created promote recommendations, rigorous evaluations these conducted. Such are important maximize efficacy promoting clinician recommendations vaccination.The objectives our study were (1)...
Professional development and training efforts are essential components of effective evidence-based approaches for educators to teach sexuality education. Public school teachers, with without health professional preparation, often assigned units limited training. Although sexuality-based curriculum trainings have been available educators, they rarely implemented teachers at the local, regional, or state levels. This article presents a framework planning implementing opportunity public...
