RESUMO

Objective: To explore associations between maternal characteristics and recall of obstetric provider actions in promoting antepartum tetanus-diphtheria-acellular-pertussis (Tdap) vaccination. Methods: A convenience sample of 1,682 postpartum women was surveyed in this cross-sectional study. Maternal characteristics and recall of four obstetric provider actions (recommending antepartum Tdap vaccine, offering it in clinic, providing written information, and referring patients elsewhere for vaccination) were collected. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to characterize the association between maternal characteristics and each provider action. Results: Among 1,604 surveys (95% of total collected), maternal recall of an obstetric provider recommending Tdap vaccination, offering it in clinic, providing written information, or referring patients elsewhere was 68%, 59%, 53%, and 15%, respectively. Multivariable analysis revealed specific maternal characteristics that increased odds of recalling at least one obstetric provider action promoting Tdap vaccination, including receipt of first trimester prenatal care (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.77, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.06-2.97), primiparity (aOR 1.35, 95% CI = 1.05-1.75), private health insurance (aOR 1.56, 95% CI = 1.16-2.04), higher household income (aOR ranging from 1.71 to 2.10 for ≥$150,000 for two actions), and non-White, non-Hispanic race/ethnicity (aOR ranging from 1.49 to 1.74 for Asian non-Hispanic for two actions and aOR 1.71 for Black non-Hispanic). Conclusion: Prenatal care, parity, insurance type, household income, and race/ethnicity are associated with recall of obstetric provider activities that impact antepartum Tdap vaccine promotion. Obstetric providers should recommend this potentially life-saving vaccine with each pregnancy, irrespective of differences in maternal characteristics, and policymakers should work to combat systemic factors that may cause disparities in uptake.

RESUMO

Disease epidemics and outbreaks often generate conspiracy theories and misperceptions that mislead people about the risks they face and how best to protect themselves. We investigate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at combating false and unsupported information about the Zika epidemic and subsequent yellow fever outbreak in Brazil. Results from a nationally representative survey show that conspiracy theories and other misperceptions about Zika are widely believed. Moreover, results from three preregistered survey experiments suggest that efforts to counter misperceptions about diseases during epidemics and outbreaks may not always be effective. We find that corrective information not only fails to reduce targeted Zika misperceptions but also reduces the accuracy of other beliefs about the disease. In addition, although corrective information about the better-known threat from yellow fever was more effective, none of these corrections affected support for vector control policies or intentions to engage in preventive behavior.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to provide an updated summary on the unique aspects of caring for female youth and adolescent athletes. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent research on female athletes has led to a better understanding of injuries and conditions that are more likely to occur in female youth and adolescent athletes, including the frequency and severity of concussions, musculoskeletal injury such as involving the anterior cruciate ligament, and the female athlete triad. Social factors, such as the growing pressure to specialize in a sport particularly at an early age, also put young female athletes at risk for issues such as overuse injuries. Researchers continue to explore the benefits of athletic participation that extend beyond physical fitness. SUMMARY: Female participation in youth sports has increased dramatically during the past 50 years. This has led to greater research on how to manage risks and maximize benefits for young female athletes, although there is still much to be learned. Providers should educate patients, parents, and coaches on both the increased risks for female athletes and ways to provide better support and accessibility of youth sports to all children.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review describes the impact of recommendations for routine immunization of infants and children against hepatitis A and hepatitis B, the changing epidemiology of these infections, and the remaining challenges to controlling or eliminating these diseases in the United States. RECENT FINDINGS: Rates of hepatitis A and B have significantly declined because of childhood vaccination programs and long-term protection provided by infant immunization. However, hepatitis A immunization rates remain lower than other vaccines, and outbreaks continue to occur in part due to a growing number of susceptible adults. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice has updated pre and postexposure prophylaxis and travel recommendations for hepatitis A prevention in young infants, as well as recommendations to reduce ongoing perinatal transmission of hepatitis B. SUMMARY: Pediatric healthcare providers should continue to immunize all infants against hepatitis A and B and ensure that no child outgrows the pediatric practice without being vaccinated. To address hepatitis A, providers should be aware of new recommendations for unimmunized travelers, use vaccines to prevent and control outbreaks, and ensure postexposure prophylaxis. Universal vaccination of infants against hepatitis B should begin before hospital discharge. The prevention of perinatal transmission is critical for control and possible eradication of hepatitis B.
