  • Human papillomavirus vaccine beliefs and practice characteristics in rural and urban adolescent care providers

    Open AccessCody Goessl, Cody L Goessl et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Rural vs. urban differences in provider practices were mixed in that rural providers do not implement some practices that may promote HPV vaccination, but do implement other practices that promote HPV vaccination. It remains unclear how the observed differences would affect HPV vaccine attitudes or adolescent vaccination decisions for parents in rural areas

  • Determinants of human papillomavirus vaccine attitudes

    Open AccessKathrine L Barnes, Jeffrey J VanWormer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    More family-specific (vs. disease-prevention) messaging and recommendations may be needed in the clinical environment to sway some parents' negative attitudes about the HPV vaccine. Future research should explore additional strategies to improve HPV vaccine attitudes, such as situating the vaccine in the context of a monogamous lifestyle that many parents wish to impart to their children

  • Association between parent attitudes and receipt of human papillomavirus vaccine in adolescents

    Open AccessJeffrey J VanWormer, Casper Bendixsen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    Reductions in parents' uncertainties appeared to result in greater likelihood of their children receiving the HPV vaccine. Only baseline concerns about vaccine harms were associated with lower series completion rate. Education for parents should emphasize the HPV vaccine's safety profile

  • A sero-survey of toxoplasmosis in farm and non-farm children from Wisconsin, United States, 1997–1999

    Open AccessClaudia Muñoz‐Zanzi, Claudia Munoz-Zanzi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Results suggest that even in apparently low-risk populations, the true extent of the infection in children is significant. In this study population, children living on farms were differentially exposed, with earlier and higher infection risk than children not living on farms. Findings highlight the need to increase awareness about toxoplasmosis acquired early in life and to improve our understanding of the ecology of T. gondii in rural environmen…

  • Herpes Zoster and Exposure to the Varicella Zoster Virus in an Era of Varicella Vaccination

    James G Donahue, Burney A Kieke et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2010References: 27

    Objectives. We performed a case–control study to determine if participants with herpes zoster had fewer contacts with persons with varicella or zoster, and with young children, to explore the hypothesis that exposure to persons with varicella zoster virus (VZV) results in “immune boosting.” Methods. Participants were patients of the multispecialty Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin. We identified patients aged 40 to 79 years with a new diagnosis of z…
