Methods: We conducted a systematic review of interventions reported in three electronic databases.

Relative contributions of parental intention and provider recommendation style to HPV and meningococcal vaccine receipt.

We described the relative contributions of parental intention and provider recommendation style to HPV and meningococcal vaccine receipt. Parent-child dyads that were eligible for both meningococcal and HPV vaccines participated in pre-visit surveys and consented to audio recording of their clinical interactions with healthcare providers related to vaccination. Surveys were analyzed for parent and child demographics and parental intention to vaccinate children with HPV and/or meningococcal vaccines.
