Early information needs of adolescents and young adults about late effects of cancer treatment.
This study evaluated the importance, quality, and implications of information about late effects in adolescents and young adults (AYA) recently diagnosed with cancer. Surveying AYAs with cancer who were 15 to 29 years old and were treated at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, researchers found that most AYAs with cancer value early information about the risks of late effects and infertility, yet many patients felt that they had not received high-quality information about these topics. They recommended the development of age-appropriate late-effect communication strategies that recognize high AYA distress to address the gap between desired information and perceived information quality.

A mixed methods study of parental vaccine decision making and parent-provider trust.
Given the growing public health problem of parental vaccine hesitancy, researchers investigated parental vaccine decisionmaking through the use of focus groups and a mailed survey. They found that parents had overall trust in their pediatricians but not in the information they provided about vaccines. Parents refusing or delaying vaccines were twice as likely to begin thinking about vaccines before their child was born.

A randomized trial to increase acceptance of childhood vaccines by vaccine-hesitant parents: a pilot study.
This pilot study evaluated an educational intervention (a video and written information) to improve parental attitudes and vaccine-uptake in vaccine-hesitant parents. It found a modest increase in parental attitudes toward vaccines but no difference in receipt of vaccines between the intervention and control groups at 12 weeks.
