Immunization is a highly cost-effective investment in health, proven to be an effective tool in controlling and eliminating dangerous infectious diseases. Health science students require evidence-based knowledge to tackle challenges in healthcare, particularly in the field of vaccination. The aim of the current study is to asses students'…

Background: Only half of US schoolchildren receive influenza vaccine. School-located influenza vaccination (SLIV) might raise vaccination rates but conducting flu vaccine clinics at schools is challenging to implement. We compared 2 school-based programs designed to raise influenza vaccination rates: parent reminder/educational messages sent to…

Carolan, K.; Verran, J.; Amos, M.; Crossley, M.; Redfern, J.; Whitton, N.; Louttit, D. – Journal of Biological Education, 2019
Vaccination coverage in the United Kingdom is below the level recommended by the World Health Organisation, and when vaccination coverage is not sufficient, outbreaks of infectious diseases can occur. In 2015, coverage of the first dose of the Measles-Mumps-Rubella vaccine declined in the United Kingdom for the first time since 2008, indicating a…

Simon F. Haeder; Daniel Marthey; Daniel Skinner – Journal of School Health, 2025
Background: School-based health centers (SBHCs) have been shown to offer substantial benefits to students but we know little about how the public thinks about them. We sought to assess US public attitudes about SBHCs and the provision of 7 health service lines--primary care, preventive care, vaccinations, preventive dental care, preventive vision…

Abdullah, Rafidah; Zakaria, Nor Fadhlina; Mushahar, Lily; Yakob, Suryati – Health Education Journal, 2023
Objective: The impact of social media on public health has been examined in various studies. However, none have explored user engagement based on the type of Facebook posts related to renal disease. Therefore, the present study sought to determine which type of nephrology-related posts have greater user engagement. Setting: Facebook pages.…

Teovanovic, Predrag; Lukic, Petar; Zupan, Zorana; Lazic, Aleksandra; Ninkovic, Milica; Žeželj, Iris – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
In the coronavirus "infodemic," people are exposed to official recommendations but also to potentially dangerous pseudoscientific advice claimed to protect against COVID-19. We examined whether irrational beliefs predict adherence to COVID-19 guidelines as well as susceptibility to such misinformation. Irrational beliefs were indexed by…

Schwartz, Heather L.; Diliberti, Melissa Kay; Grant, David – RAND Corporation, 2021
School districts are facing several urgent questions as they plan for fall 2021. Will parents send their children to school in person in fall 2021? Why or why not? And what can schools do to reassure parents about sending their children to in-person schooling? To answer these questions RAND researchers surveyed 2,015 parents of children ages 5-18…

Reiss, Michael J. – Science & Education, 2022
The issue of trust in science has come to the fore in recent years. I focus on vaccines, first looking at what is known about trust in vaccines and then concentrating on whether what science education teaches about vaccines can be trusted. I present an argument to connect the phenomenon of vaccine hesitancy to the issue of trust and then argue for…

The COVID-19 pandemic uncovered important patterns of structural inequities and their impact on health outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities in the United States. Native Americans, Latinxs, and African Americans are more likely to contract COVID-19 and be hospitalized and die, but are less likely to be tested and vaccinated. Environmental and…

Roy, Brandon G.; Ryndock, Eric; Lappas, Courtney M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
The amplification of nucleic acids is a fundamental tool utilized in various scientific disciplines, including Molecular Biology, Immunology, Microbiology, and Genetics. However, due to the time and technology required for traditional polymerase chain reaction and its derivatives, it is not always possible to include such methodologies in…

Barrera, J.; Greene, S.; Petyak, E.; Kenneson, S.; McGill, E.; Howell, H.; Billing, D.; Taylor, S.; Ewing, A.; Cull, J. – Journal of American College Health, 2021
Objective: We sought to identify factors that influence Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates in individuals at two higher education institutions in South Carolina (SC). Participants: We surveyed 1007 students with a mean age and standard deviation of 20.3 ± 3.3 from September 2018 to December 2018. Methods: Participants answered 13…

Kessler, Erica D.; Braasch, Jason L. G.; Kardash, CarolAnne M. – Reading Psychology, 2021
The current work was conducted to better understand the influences of source presence and individual differences on evaluating and sharing information from multiple conflicting Internet texts about childhood vaccinations. The results indicate that college student readers appeared to be insensitive to a source availability manipulation. However,…

Burns, Sharyn; Selvey, Linda; Roux, Felicity – Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2021
In Australia, school-based immunisation programmes (SBIP) provide Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations to secondary school students. However, despite such free programmes, around 20% of girls and 25% of boys do not complete all doses. This formative study identified barriers and enablers to vaccine completion. Online surveys were conducted with…
