Study Objective: To explore drivers of suboptimal vaccination rates by understanding why parents without strong antivaccine beliefs do not fully vaccinate their children.
Methods: Four focus groups were conducted in Washington state with 41 parents of children aged 24 to 48 months who delayed, declined, or missed some but not all vaccines. During the focus groups, parents were asked about reasons their child was undervaccinated, information that might address their concerns, and additional support they needed.
Context: Daily outdoor play is encouraged by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Existing evidence is unclear on the independent effect of nature exposures on child health.
Objective: We systematically evaluated evidence regarding the relationship between nature contact and children's health.
