Parent preferences for communicating with their adolescent's provider using new technologies.
The researchers assessed the views of parents of adolescents on various means to communicate with their adolescents’ physicians about vaccine reminders and appointments, medication refills and test results including phone, mail, e-mail, text messages, and personal health records (PHR). They found that young parents of adolescents are most likely to accept text message vaccine reminders; suburban parents prefer e-mail reminders. Personal health records are accepted generally by those parents who are younger and suburban.

Development of an interactive social media tool for parents with concerns about vaccines.
The researchers describe a process for designing, building, and evaluating a theory-driven social media intervention tool to help reduce parental concerns about vaccination. Based on focus groups, interviews, and usability evaluations, they made revisions to the tool’s content, design, functionality, and overall look and feel. They concluded that engaging parents at all stages of development is critical when designing a tool to address concerns about childhood vaccines.

Registry-linked electronic influenza vaccine provider reminders: a cluster-crossover trial.
The objective of the study was to determine the impact on vaccine administration of EHR influenza vaccination reminders that are linked to a city immunization information system. It found that a noninterruptive, immunization information system–linked influenza vaccination reminder can increase vaccination late in the winter when fewer vaccine doses are usually administered. Tailoring the reminder to clinicians’ needs can increase its use.
