Associations between health care professional communication practices and influenza vaccination of hospitalized children.
The objective of this study was to describe the communication of health care professionals (HCPs) with parents of hospitalized children concerning the influenza vaccine. A survey was conducted online or via telephone with English- and Spanish-speaking parents of influenza vaccine-eligible children hospitalized at a pediatric hospital after discharge. Findings showed that a parent-reported HCP conversation and recommendation were associated with influenza vaccination during hospitalization.

Stories about HPV vaccine in social media, traditional media, and conversations.
To understand how stories from media and social interactions shape parents' HPV vaccination decisions, the authors sought to characterize parents' exposure to these stories, as well as associations between story exposure and vaccination behavior. They found that stories of HPV vaccine harms may be associated more strongly with vaccination behavior than stories of HPV vaccine preventable diseases. They recommended that communication campaigns consider strategies to elevate stories of preventable diseases in social and traditional media.

Development and evaluation of a patient education video promoting pneumococcal vaccination.
The researchers aimed to develop and refine a patient education video about pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination (PPSV23) and to assess patient perceptions regarding video content and receipt of video during a clinic visit. They found that focus group participants had positive reactions to the video but suggested reducing the intensity of messages about pneumonia severity. Participants shown the revised video during a clinic visit perceived it to be easy to understand and informative.

Translating self-persuasion into an adolescent HPV vaccine promotion intervention for parents attending safety-net clinics.
Researchers developed a tablet-based application (in English and Spanish) to elicit parental self-persuasion for adolescent HPV vaccination and evaluated its feasibility in a safety-net population. They found that the self-persuasion application was feasible and resulted in a change in parents' decision stage. Future studies can now test the efficacy of the tablet-based application on HPV vaccination.
