Background: People who smoke cigars often have misperceptions about the associated risks, contributing to rises in smoking rates. This study investigates the perceived warning effectiveness (PWE) of health warning labels (HWLs) on cigar packages. We tested the impact of warning type and warning size in the HWLs on PWE and other health outcomes.

Objectives: This study describes the use of data-based feedback, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates, to advance HPV vaccination uptake in pediatric and family medicine clinics.
Study Design: A survey of primary care clinical staff in the US who provided HPV vaccination to children aged 9 to 12 years (N = 2527; response rate, 57%).
Methods: The primary outcome was a mutually exclusive categorical variable that described the type of quality metrics for which providers received feedback in the past year: HPV vaccine, other pediatric vaccinations, other quality metrics, or none.
Objective: Clinical champions are healthcare professionals who help their colleagues improve the delivery of evidence-based care. Because little is known about champions working in the context of adolescent vaccination, we sought to identify vaccine champion roles among primary care health professionals (PCHPs).
Methods: In 2022, we surveyed 2527 US PCHPs who serve adolescents.
Introduction: Pictorial health warning labels (HWLs) can communicate the harms of tobacco product use, yet little research exists for cigars. We sought to identify the most effective types of images to pair with newly developed cigar HWLs.
Aims And Methods: In September 2021, we conducted an online survey experiment with US adults who reported using little cigars, cigarillos, or large cigars in the past 30 days (n = 753).
Background: Vaccine champions are common in primary care, but little is known about which champions are effective.
Methods: In 2022, we surveyed 2,144 US primary care professionals (PCPs) who reported working with vaccine champions. Respondents rated the champion with whom they worked most closely on their effectiveness at improving vaccination rates.
