Reframing the Conversation about Child and Adolescent Vaccinations

DATE: 1/26/2023
AUDIENCE: Researcher, Public
TOPIC(S): COVID-19 Vaccination, Children & Safe Schools, Best Practices

This strategic brief by Frameworks includes five evidence-based recommendations for communicating about vaccinations:

  1. Talk about the benefits of vaccination for the common good.
  2. Talk about improving vaccination access as a preventive public health measure.
  3. Focus on how vaccines are beneficial to children’s and adolescents’ long-term health and well-being.
  4. Use a computer updates metaphor to explain how the immune system improves its performance through vaccination.
  5. Use a literacy metaphor to explain how the immune system learns how to respond to viruses through vaccination.

Percepciones sobre las pruebas del COVID-19 caseras de los cuidadores de niños con complejidad médica: Un estudio cualitativo

DATE: 2/6/2023
AUDIENCE: Researcher, Public
TOPIC(S): COVID-19 Testing, Children & Safe Schools, RADx-UP Research Findings

Las pruebas de COVID-19 son una estrategia importante para reducir la propagación viral, especialmente entre los niños con complejidades médicas que son más vulnerables a los síntomas graves de COVID-19, la hospitalización y la muerte. Sin embargo, se desconoce cómo perciben las pruebas los cuidadores de estos niños, lo que puede afectar negativamente la aceptación y los beneficios de las pruebas en esta población. Por lo tanto, investigadores de Wisconsin trabajaron para comprender las percepciones de los cuidadores sobre las pruebas de COVID-19 caseras.

Caregiver perceptions of in-home COVID-19 testing for children with medical complexity: A qualitative study

DATE: 2/6/2023
AUDIENCE: Researcher, Public
TOPIC(S): COVID-19 Testing, Children & Safe Schools, RADx-UP Research Findings

COVID-19 testing is an important strategy to reduce viral spread, especially among children with medical complexities who are more vulnerable to severe COVID-19 symptoms, hospitalization, and death. However, how caregivers of these children perceive testing is not known, which can negatively impact testing uptake and benefit in this population. Therefore, researchers from Wisconsin worked to understand caregivers’ perceptions of in-home COVID-19 testing.

AUDIENCE: Public
TOPIC(S): COVID-19 Vaccination, Children & Safe Schools, RADx-UP Research Findings

Principal investigator, Dr. John Foxe, and study coordinator, Emily Wagner, were featured on The Mary Cariola Center Radio Show (WYSL Radio 1040 AM, 92.1 FM) on April 21 to discuss the study. Dr. Foxe provided an update to indicate that through vaccine uptakes in our region, the community has built an immunity wall against COVID. Cases have increased recently, although most infections aren't making people severely sick. Since the start of COVID, we've learned that it's extremely important for kids to return to school for basic learning and socialization.

The Adventures of the SASEA Robot & Friends

DATE: 5/26/2022
AUDIENCE: Public
TOPIC(S): COVID-19 Testing, Community Engagement, Children & Safe Schools

A RADx-UP project based at UC San Diego called Safer at School Early Alert (SASEA) partnered with their Health Communications Team to develop a comic book/coloring book as a kid-friendly way for children and parents to learn about what SASEA did at their schools over the past two years. The comic book shares scientific information in a user-friendly format and comes in two versions: version 1 covers wastewater monitoring and version 2 covers wastewater monitoring and surface sampling done by the project team.

The comic books were delivered to schools in early June in addition to SASEA swag bags for school staff. The books are also available in Spanish.
