“…The learning effect of digital vaccination apps could be further improved by providing additional feedback-loops for vaccine follow-ups this generating additional data sources for the monitoring of vaccine safety in real-time (Lindemann et al, 2016, Panatto et al, 2016). With children and adolescents representing the next generation of parents and caretakers, it will be important to develop age-appropriate forms of vaccine communication (Lee et al, 2016). Digital vaccination records will be easily accessible to adolescents and young adults, who rarely seek physician appointments (Stockwell et al, 2012, Wakadha et al, 2013, Johnson et al, 2008, Kharbanda et al, 2011, Castano et al, 2013, Amicizia et al, 2013).…”

Parents are often uncertain about the vaccination status of their children. In times of vaccine hesitancy, vaccination programs could benefit from active patient participation. The Vaccination App (VAccApp) was developed by the Vienna Vaccine Safety Initiative, enabling parents to learn about the vaccination status of their children, including 25 different routine, special indication and travel vaccines listed in the WHO Immunization Certificate of Vaccination (WHO-ICV). Between 2012 and 2014, the VAccApp was validated in a hospital-based quality management program in Berlin, Germany, in collaboration with the Robert Koch Institute. Parents of 178 children were asked to transfer the immunization data of their children from the WHO-ICV into the VAccApp. The respective WHO-ICV was photocopied for independent, professional data entry (gold standard). Demonstrating the status quo in vaccine information reporting, a Recall Group of 278 parents underwent structured interviews for verbal immunization histories, without the respective WHO-ICV. Only 9% of the Recall Group were able to provide a complete vaccination status; on average 39% of the questions were answered correctly. Using the WHO-ICV with the help of the VAccApp resulted in 62% of parents providing a complete vaccination status; on average 95% of the questions were answered correctly. After using the VAccApp, parents were more likely to remember key aspects of the vaccination history. User-friendly mobile applications empower parents to take a closer look at the vaccination record, thereby taking an active role in providing accurate vaccination histories. Parents may become motivated to ask informed questions and to keep vaccinations up-to-date.

“…Prior educational intervention trials to improve HPV vaccination among young women have included multiple modalities (i.e., peer and medical expert narrative videos (Hopfer, 2012), small group discussions (Kester et al, 2014), text message (Lee et al, 2016), and computerbased interventions (Bennett et al, 2015;Paiva, Lipschitz, Fernandez, Redding, & Prochaska 2014)). Unfortunately, providing HPV education through these interventions, even when successful in improving knowledge, has often failed to promote HPV vaccine intention and uptake (Bennett et al, 2015;Perez et al, 2016).…”

Does Self-Efficacy Mediate the Relationships Between Social-Cognitive Factors and Intentions to Receive HPV Vaccination Among Young Women?

Drawing upon health behavior change theories, the current study examined whether self-efficacy mediated relationships between social-cognitive factors (i.e., perceived risk, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived severity, and cue to action) and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination intentions among college women. Unvaccinated women ( N = 115) aged 18 to 25 years attending a Midwestern university completed an anonymous web-based survey assessing study variables. Correlational analyses and mediation analyses were conducted. Self-efficacy mediated relationships between two social-cognitive factors (i.e., perceived barriers to HPV vaccination-indirect effect = -.16, SE = .06, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [-.31, -.06]-and perceived risk of HPV-related conditions-indirect effect = .16, SE = .09, 95% CI = [.01, .37]) and HPV vaccination intentions but was unrelated to the other three social-cognitive factors. Based on these findings, future research should test whether increasing self-efficacy through education on risk of HPV-related conditions and reducing barriers to HPV vaccination improves vaccine uptake in college women.

“…57 In addition to simple reminders, text messages can also contain particular message features, such as educational messages about HPV and cancer, the source of the health threat, or the role of personal agency, to increase parental intention to vaccinate their children. 58,59 Text messaging may be a particularly promising area for increasing uptake of dose 1 and timely completion of the second HPV dose, especially given that the Pew Research Center reports that 73% of American adults are text messaging users, sending and receiving an average of 42 texts per dayand that report was done 6 years ago. 60 This is also a technology which is widely used by underserved groups (e.g., racial minorities, low income groups) for health information, making it an ideal intervention strategy for reaching those most at risk.…”

The HPV vaccine debuted more than ten years ago in the United States and many strategies have been evaluated to increase HPV vaccination rates, which include not only improving current vaccination behaviors but also sustaining these behaviors. Researchers and practitioners from a variety of backgrounds have engaged in this work, which has included efforts directed at public health and government policies, health education and health promotion programs, and clinical and patient-provider approaches, as well as work aimed to respond to and combat anti-HPV vaccination movements in society. Using a previously developed conceptual model to organize and summarize each of these areas, this paper also highlights the need for future HPV vaccine promotion work to adopt a multi-level and, when possible, integrated approach in order to maximize impact on vaccination rates.
