Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Adolescent Immunization

In brief

The proposed project develops a community and school-based intervention to enhance understanding of the importance all age-appropriate vaccinations, and uses an innovative, comprehensive approach (Project INSPIRE - Instilling Necessary Sickness Prevention with Immunizations Reaching Everyone) to ensure that all parents of adolescents are advised of all age-appropriate vaccines for sickness prevention. The investigator will develop a novel set of targeted video vignette persuasive informational decision aids (including target population representatives) to enhance lay understanding of recommended adolescent (or catch-up) vaccines. The Investigator will also partner with school districts to develop a replicable social marketing vaccination event program (Project INSPIRE) to encourage parents and teens to publicly vaccinate at community events and during drop-in school nursing clinic hours.
