Brief Summary:
This project aims to understand how improving vaccine education and awareness can impact the number of parents who vaccinate, or intend to vaccine, their middle school-aged children with age-appropriate vaccines, including human papillomavirus (HPV), meningitis (MCV) and tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (TDap).
Detailed Description:
Vaccines are considered one of the greatest public health successes. Unfortunately, an increasing rate of parental resistance in recent years has led to a reemergence of vaccine-preventable diseases. This project seeks to determine the effect of a multi-tiered school and community-based approach to improving rates of parental intent to vaccinate for middle school-aged vaccinations including Human Papillomavirus (HPV), meningitis (MCV) and Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis (TDap).
By randomizing participating schools, parents receiving the intervention participated in (1) a community-based event to raise parental awareness of the importance of vaccination and (2) a social marketing campaign targeting parents' attitudes and knowledge around vaccinations.
The Investigators hypothesized that participation in this study would increase parental intention to vaccinate. In addition, this study intended to improve rates of recommended vaccination among middle school-aged children, as measured through vaccine uptake information required for annual entry into Pennsylvania public schools.
The Penn State team brings a breadth of experience in pediatrics, community-engaged research, adolescent health, and engagement with schools.
