“…Whereas in the past adolescents have been called “the orphans of immunization practices” (Boyer-Chuanroong, 1997, p. 249), today immunization for adolescents is an expanding field. Vaccinating adolescents, particularly those in the transition between childhood and adolescence, presents specific challenges (Humiston & Rosenthal, 2005), especially in the case of vaccination against a sexually transmitted infection.…”

Internet-based research is a relatively new and growing field that presents a number of ethical challenges regarding privacy, confidentiality, and informed consent. In light of a study examining discussions regarding the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine on a publicly viewable Internet message board among primarily American, Australian, and Canadian female adolescents and young adults, the author discusses the methodological and ethical concerns surrounding Internet-based qualitative research with youth. The author first provides some contextual background about the study and issues surrounding the HPV vaccine. She describes her methods of data collection and analysis and provides a summary of the results. The author then explores a number of ethical issues that arise in Internet-based research and examines her own ethical decision-making as informed by existing discussions and guidelines in this area.

Abstract:In the past, immunization programs worldwide mainly focused on the delivery of infant and early childhood vaccines. An increasing awareness of the importance of investing in adolescents' health has led to the introduction of new vaccines targeted specifically to adolescents over the last ten years: this has improved the adolescent's opportunities to protect from certain diseases for which they are at an increased risk. Safe and effective vaccines against human papilloma virus, Neisseria meningitides and Bordetella pertussis are recommended in many parts of the world; nevertheless, vaccination coverage in this age group is relatively low compared to coverage in infants. Barriers to adolescent immunization are believed to be complex and multifactorial but overcoming these barriers will be of primary importance for the future.
