Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

As part of an effort to increase MenB vaccine uptake among adolescents and young adults, study teams will conduct qualitative research to maximize the effectiveness of nationally recommended MenB educational materials. In this study, Study Teams will assess local barriers to MenB vaccination by conducting focus groups with parents, students, and health care professionals.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants (parents of 16-23 year old teens and young adults, high school and college students 16-23 years old, and health care professionals for 16-23 year olds) will be asked to share their thoughts on the completeness of nationally recommended and publicly available MenB vaccine educational materials in addressing hesitations to receipt of the MenB vaccine. There is no risk in discussing reactions to educational materials. The biggest risk is disclosure of information provided in the study which will be reactions to health-promotion material.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Youth

Youth between the ages beteen ages 13-18 will be offered awareness, education, empowerment and accessibility intervention components.

Group Type OTHER

Awareness

Intervention Type OTHER

Awareness: Conduct an awareness campaign throughout Alachua County to alert the community in general to the significance of Serogroup B meningococcal disease in the United States. To inform the material included in the awareness campaign and the education materials, semi-structured interviews with members for each of the key stakeholder groups: students, parents, and medical practitioners will be conducted.

Education

Intervention Type OTHER

Education: This component will be both web-based and in-person to meet the individual needs of the learners. There will be parent and a student (18-23 years old) version of the educational curriculum. National resources of patient -focused materials and guidelines will be adapted. There will be pre- and post-education surveys to assess knowledge and vaccine decision-making.

Empowerment

Intervention Type OTHER

Empowerment: A guided program for adolescents and young adults on "Decision-Making for your Health" will be offered on the vaccination days to assist youth in assessing and utilizing health information to guide their personal decision-making for vaccines.

Accessibility

Intervention Type OTHER

Accessibility: MenB vaccine will be offer on the high school and university campuses through a collaborative program between the local schools, university and department of health. We will offer students booster shots of Men ACWY and HPV at the same time. All vaccines will be offered free of charge. Each vaccine administered will be recorded in Florida SHOTS.

College

Age between 18-23 will be offered awareness, education, empowerment and accessibility intervention components.
