“…Related to the Singapore research locus, one strength of this study in its non-US research locus that provides further evidence of cross-cultural validation of the HBM, which in this study has demonstrated its predictive utility consistent with other HBM studies, especially that focusing on parental roles. 10,21,25,26 The HBM has proved to be an efficient tool in predicting health behaviors based on health beliefs. Consistent with other studies on dietary and health actions of parents, 21,39 in this study, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and cues to actions are significant predictors of health actions toward children's fast food consumption to prevent childhood obesity.…”

This study, which positions adult family members as health advocates and active promoters of their children's health, explicates the health beliefs and health actions of adult caregivers in limiting children's fast food consumption to prevent childhood obesity. Based on a survey of 124 parents, grandparents, and older siblings in Singapore, this study, which is grounded in the Health Belief Model, found that the strongest predictor of adult family members' behaviors to limit children's consumption of fast food is cues to action, or external stimuli. Adult family members who have greater exposure to news stories, media campaigns, and personal interactions and discussions about fast food are most likely to limit their children's consumption of fast food. Adult family members who perceive their children's higher susceptibility to childhood obesity also are more likely to limit their children's fast food consumption. Similarly, family members who view more seriously childhood obesity as a life-threatening illness are more likely to limit their children's fast food consumption. Finally, adult family members who consider fast food advertising to be less ethical are more likely to limit their children's consumption of fast food. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

“…Additional factors previously noted in the literature to be associated with vaccination coverage were also entered into the models due to their potential theoretical importance. Such factors included child age, maternal age, maternal education, presence of a personal doctor or nurse, accessibility of services and discontinuous insurance coverage [15,[30][31][32][33]. All analyses were performed using SPSS version 17.0 (SPSS Inc. Chicago, Ill).…”

Determinants of Influenza Vaccination Among Young Children in an Inner-City Community

et al. 2011

Few studies have examined potential factors that contribute to low influenza vaccination rates among minority children. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of early childhood influenza vaccination among young black and Latino children, living in inner-city neighborhoods, and examine the effects of child, caregiver and health system factors. Secondary data analysis was performed using a survey about medical home experiences conducted from May 2007-June 2008. The study sample was limited to children ≥6 months in any influenza season prior to the 2006-2007 influenza season. Bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression tested associations between influenza vaccination receipt and socio-demographic and health system characteristics. One-third of children received an influenza vaccination by the end of 2006-2007 season, while only 11% received a vaccination within their first season of eligibility. Black children were more likely than Latino children to have been vaccinated (50% vs. 31%, P<0.01) during their first few eligible seasons. Children whose mothers were older, proficient in English, and frequent users of healthcare were more likely to obtain vaccination. Child attendance at healthcare settings with immunization reminder systems was also positively correlated with influenza vaccination. Our findings suggest that initial vaccination receipt among minority children from inner-city communities might be improved by expanded influenza promotion activities targeting younger mothers or those with limited English proficiency. Strategies to increase the frequency of child's actual contact with the medical home, such as reminder systems, may be useful in improving uptake of influenza vaccination among inner-city, minority children.
