Teen Vaccine Study |
| |
|
| |
Overview |
| |
The Adolescent Medicine Program at the University of North
Carolina School of Medicine and the Center for Adolescent Health & the Law,
with support from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, are
conducting a nationwide study to understand factors that influence adolescent
immunization rates. Carol Ford, MD and Abigail English, JD are the Principal
Investigators for this project. |
|
|
|
|
|
Specifically, we are investigating how issues related to
consent affect the extent to which adolescents receive recommended
vaccinations, and how these effects vary by age, vaccine type, and clinical
setting. The goal of this project is to understand the issues related to
consent for adolescent vaccination and, ultimately, to improve the overall
health of adolescents by increasing immunization rates for this age group. |

|
Participation will involve a brief telephone interview that will take
approximately 20 minutes to complete. Interviews will take begin in
mid-January 2009. |
|
|
|
|
|
Upon completion of our study, findings will be published and available to
all practitioners who care for adolescents. A copy of that report will be
available at the Center for Adolescent Health & the Law website. |
