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.

Social media vaccine websites: a comparative analysis of public and moderated websites.
This study examined vaccine social media (VSM) websites and compared expert moderated VSM websites to nonmoderated websites. Accuracy of information, vaccine stance, and tone was coded for 79 public blogs and discussion boards and 61 expert moderated VSM websites. The public VSM websites had a lot of inaccurate information and tended to have a negative stance towards vaccines. Expert moderated websites had a more civil tone, little to no inaccurate information and very little participant-to-participant interaction.

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.

Modification and validation of the Treatment Self Regulation Questionnaire to assess parental motivation for HPV vaccination of adolescents.
The researchers investigated measures of motivation for HPV vaccination using confirmatory factor analysis to test a three-factor measurement model. Their findings support the use of three subscales to measure motivation in HPV vaccination and suggest possible cultural differences in motivation.

Addressing parental vaccine concerns: engagement, balance, and timing.
The recent United States measles epidemic has sparked another contentious national discussion about childhood vaccination. Interventions to address this emerging public health issue are needed. The authors describe a framework by which web-based interventions can be used to help parents make evidence-based decisions about childhood vaccinations.

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.

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.
