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