Filter by:The Collaborative Open Research Initiative Study (CORIS) is a groundbreaking international research endeavor aimed at exploring vital topics within the field of health professions education. At its core, CORIS embodies the spirit of inclusivity by opening its doors to contributors from all corners of the globe, putting the power of research into the hands of the global community and fostering an environment of open collaboration and meaningful contribution. We invite anyone and everyone to join as collaborators and suggest questions for inclusion in the survey, ensuring that the research process is enriched by diverse perspectives. As a collaborator, you will not only have the opportunity to actively engage in survey design, question formulation, and the entire research process from start to finish, but also gain the prospect of achieving valuable publications, which may boost your professional career.
Asian American (AA) females are disproportionately affected by cervical cancer. Among AA subgroups, Korean American (KA) females had higher risks of developing cervical cancer and rates of cervical cancer mortality compared to white females (11.9, 7.1 per 100,000, respectively). Despite that HPV vaccines have shown to be efficacious in preventing cancers and are recommended for routine vaccinations for youth at age 11 or 12 years, AA females aged 9-17 years have significantly lower HPV vaccine initiation (12.4% vs 27.2%) and completion (1.9% vs 10.3%) rates compared with all other race/ethnicities combined. Using culturally grounded narratives/stories incorporating culture-specific beliefs and practices for health behavior change is effective to mitigate health disparities, specifically for Asian Americans. Storytelling, a specific form of cultural narrative, is showing promise as an effective method of facilitating healthy behaviors through promoting a sense of identification with stories and characters, and transportation (i.e., emotional engagement) as defined in the Model of Narrative as Culture-Centric Health Promotion. We propose to use a digital storytelling approach to gather in-person stories from KA immigrant mothers about HPV vaccination of their children for our intervention.
This is a phase 2,prospective double-blind, randomized, parallel-group study with the aim to demonstrate non-inferiority, in terms of immunogenicity, between the wet formulation and a newly developed partially dried formulation of selected components of ETVAX.
This prospective cohort study aims to provide the evidence-based clinical guide to help decide the revaccination doses of hepatitis B vaccine that the high-risk young adults without hepatitis B seroprotective antibodies (anti-HBs titer<10 mIU/mL) need to take.
Our objective is to determine the effectiveness of varied outreach methods (e.g. automated reminder calls/text messages with or without personalized calls/texts) to children age 12-14 months or 4 years old who are due for a WCC visit and don't have one scheduled in the next 45 days on the outcomes of appointment scheduling, appointment completion, and receipt of the MMR vaccination.
