Informational Sources About Breastfeeding Associated with Breastfeeding Initiation: Insights into Racial Disparities.

Breastfeeding provides essential nutrition and disease protection for infants while reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and breast cancer in mothers. Despite these benefits, significant racial and ethnic disparities exist in breastfeeding initiation, particularly among Black women. This study examines racial differences in the receipt of breastfeeding information from varying sources and their association with breastfeeding initiation.

Testing an HPV Vaccine Decision Aid for 27- to 45-Year-Old Adults in the United States: A Randomized Trial.

Background: In the United States, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among 27- to 45-y-olds (mid-adults) is recommended based on shared clinical decision making with a health care provider. We developed a patient decision aid tool to support the implementation of this mid-adult HPV vaccination guideline. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a patient decision aid tool for HPV vaccination, HPV DECIDE, compared with an information fact sheet among mid-adults who have not received the HPV vaccine.

Clinician Perspectives on Implementing HPV Vaccination Guidelines into Practice.

In the United States, HPV vaccination is available for unvaccinated 27 to 45 year olds based on a shared clinical decision with a health care provider. Since the implementation of the guideline, little has been known about provider perceptions of this recommendation. The purpose of this study was to elucidate health care provider perspectives on HPV vaccination for 27 to 45 year olds in the United States.

Development and evaluation of a decision aid for HPV vaccination among adults aged 27-45 years old in the United States.

Objective: To design, develop, and field test the HPV Decide decision tool to facilitate shared clinical decision-making recommendation for mid-adult HPV vaccination.

Methods: The 'HPV Decide' online tool was developed through a 6-step process, involving community and provider advisory boards, usability testing with 10 end users (unvaccinated adults aged 27-45), field testing interviews with another 10, and interviews with 18 healthcare providers. The process incorporated both inductive and deductive qualitative data analyses.
