Mother-Daughter Dyads' Perceptions of Contraception.

Study Objective: In an increasing number of states, parents must provide permission for their daughters under 18-years-old to start contraception. We sought to understand perceptions among mother-daughter dyads about sources of information, and to describe dyadic interactions when discussing contraception.

Methods: Dyads were recruited from an adolescent medicine clinic in Dallas, TX.

Confidence in adolescent contraceptive counseling among residents and fellows training at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas.

Objectives: Evaluate trainees' perceptions of past training and confidence in counseling about five contraceptive methods.

Study Design: Trainees completed an online survey in 2020. Logistic regressions evaluated the relationship between participant characteristics and confidence.

Medication abortion for adolescents in the United States: Strengthening the role of pediatric primary care providers.

Background: Recent legal changes have led to mounting abortion restrictions in the United States (US), disproportionately impacting adolescents, who already face multifaceted barriers to abortion care. Informed by the framework of reproductive justice, adolescents who become pregnant deserve comprehensive, unbiased, and non-judgmental pregnancy options counseling, inclusive of all choices for pregnancy continuation and termination. Pediatric primary care providers are at the front lines of caring for adolescent patients' reproductive health needs and frequently diagnose pregnancy, provide pregnancy options counseling, and assist patients in accessing abortion care.

Longitudinal assessment of COVID-19 vaccine uptake: A two-wave survey of a nationally representative U.S. sample.

Understanding factors that influence those who are initially COVID-19 vaccine hesitant to accept vaccination is valuable for the development of vaccine promotion strategies. Using Ipsos KnowledgePanel®, we conducted a national survey of adults aged 18 and older in the United States. We created a questionnaire to examine factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake over a longitudinal period ("Wave 1" in April 2021 and "Wave 2" in February 2022), and utilized weighted data provided by Ipsos to make the data nationally representative.

Factors impacting parental uptake of COVID-19 vaccination for U.S. Children ages 5-17.

COVID-19 vaccination of U.S. children lags behind adult vaccination, but remains critical in mitigating the pandemic.

The impact of financial incentives on COVID-19 vaccination intention among a sample of U.S. adults.

Financial incentives are one of several strategies that have been explored to enhance COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Although widely discussed, it is unclear how much of an incentive and for which subset of individuals incentives would be effective. This study explored the impact of hypothetical $600 or $1200 incentives on COVID-19 vaccination intention.

COVID-19 vaccine uptake and attitudes towards mandates in a nationally representative U.S. sample.

Widespread uptake of COVID-19 vaccination is vital to curtailing the pandemic, yet rates remain suboptimal in the U.S. Vaccine mandates have previously been successful, but are controversial.
