Background: On September 20, 2021, Pfizer announced encouraging effectiveness and safety results from their COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials in 5-11 years old children. This study aims to assess parents perceptions and intention to vaccinate their 5-11 years old children and to determine the socio-demographic, health-related and behavioral factors, as well as the role of incentives beyond these factors, in predicting this intention. Methods: A cross-sectional representative online survey among parents of children aged 5-11 years in Israel (n=1,012). The survey was carried out between September 23 and October 4, 2021, at a critical time, immediately after Pfizers announcement. Two multivariate regressions were performed to determine predictors of parents intention to vaccinate their 5-11 years old children against COVID-19 in the coming winter and how soon they intend to do so. Results: Overall, 57% of the participants reported their intention to vaccinate their 5-11 years old children against COVID-19 in the coming winter. This intention was higher for participants over the age of 40. Perceived susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and cues to action, as well as two incentives - vaccine availability and receiving a green pass - were all significant predictors of this intention. When asked about how soon they intend to vaccinate their 5-11 years old children, 27% of the participants responded immediately; 26% within three months; and 24% within more than three months. Participants having a family member suffering from a chronic disease as well as those whose children were vaccinated against influenza in the previous winter intend to vaccinate their children sooner. Perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and cues to action, were all found to be significant predictors of this sense of urgency. Similar to the intention to vaccinate children in the coming winter, while vaccine availability and receiving a green pass were found to be positive significant predictors of how soon parents intend to vaccinate their children, other incentives such as monetary rewards or monetary penalties were not found to be significant predictors. Parental concerns centered around the safety of the vaccine (64%), fear of severe side effects (60%), and fear that clinical trials and the authorization process were carried out too quickly (56%). Conclusions: This study provides up-to-date information on the rates of the intention of parents to vaccinate their 5-11 years old children, how soon they intend to do so, and the predictors of those intentions, which is essential for health policy makers and healthcare providers for planning vaccination campaigns. Moreover, as vaccine safety and side effects were found to be key parental concerns, it is important to release post-approval safety data regarding the vaccine to the public as soon as such is available. Finally, our findings underscore the important role of vaccine accessibility and receiving a green pass over other incentives in promoting parents intentions to vaccinate their children.

16016 Background: Prior data indicate African Americans are less likely to receive appropriate and timely therapy for breast, colon, and lung cancers. The reasons for this may involve differences in how AA patients (pts) perceive the risks and benefits of available therapies. In general, little is known about the beliefs of pts, and about AA’s in particular, toward the risks and benefits of chemotherapy. Methods: Semi-structured qualitative interviews are being conducted on pts who have been referred to receive chemotherapy for breast, colon, and lung cancer. Results: To date, 18 patients have been interviewed: 9AA, 9W; median age 61 (range 35–77); 11 lung, 4 breast, 3 colon (11 for adjuvant therapy and 7 with metastatic disease). Pts provided their beliefs on the role of chemotherapy. Many described the advantages of chemotherapy indicating the possibility of cure or remission. Others expressed a degree of skepticism about the curative intent of chemotherapy. Many indicated an expectation of moderate to severe side effects that may have lasting effects on the body. Trust in one’s physician and the role of religion/spirituality are also emerging themes. One AA pt described that chemotherapy was a way for physicians to experiment on patients. Others believed that trust in one’s physician was implicit and essential. Many indicated a belief in God but few believed that his/her religious beliefs affected his/her approach to treatment. Conclusions: Consistent with the health beliefs’ model, perceived benefits and perceived barriers (one’s belief about the tangible and psychological costs of the advised action) shape pts’ perceptions of chemotherapy. In this ongoing analysis, the perceived benefits are tempered by a degree of skepticism. The perceived barriers include concerns about the overall impact of chemotherapy on the body and spirit rather than specific short-term side effects. Also, belief in the use of chemotherapy as an experiment is potentially consistent with some African American patients’ perceptions. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Background. Breast cancer has become one of the most prevalent causes of mortality among Indonesian women. Better prognosis of breast cancer will be achieved if it is diagnosed in an earlier stage, thus efforts to detect breast cancer earlier are important. Breast Self-Examination (BSE) is considered as an important first step to encourage women to actively be responsible for their own health, especially for women in developing countries with limited resources and access to other forms of preventive healthcare. The present study aimed to predict BSE behavior among women in Surabaya, Indonesia using the HBM. Methods. This investigation was a cross-sectional survey which was distributed among 1,967 women aged 20-60 years. The Indonesian version of Champion’s Health Belief Model Scale (I-CHBMS) was used to explain self-reported BSE practice. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association of HBM variables with BSE practice.Results Almost half of the sample (44.4%) had performed BSE. Further, the results indicated that the HBM variables were significantly associated with BSE practice. Specifically, higher perceived benefits and self-efficacy, lower perceived barriers and less cues to action were unique correlates of BSE behavior. The result also showed that perceived severity and susceptibility were not associated with BSE behavior. Conclusion. This study indicated that several HBM constructs significantly associated with BSE behavior among Indonesian women, suggesting that BSE health education programs should emphasize the perceived benefits of BSE, focus on increasing women’s self-efficacy to address and overcome perceived barriers in performing BSE, and help them in identifying personally relevant cues to action.

Calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been the first class of specifically developed preventive treatments for migraine. Clinical trials data suggest superiority of the CGRP mAbs to placebo in terms of prevention of migraine symptoms, migraine-specific quality of life and headache related disability. Treatment-related side effects overall did not differ significantly from placebo and discontinuation rate due to side effects has been low across the clinical trials, perhaps in view of their peripheral mode of action. Along with their route and frequency of administration, these novel class of drugs may constitute an improvement compared with the established arsenal of migraine treatments. Erenumab is a fully human antibody and the only mAb acting on the CGRP pathway by blocking its receptor. It is the first of the CGRP mAb class approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (May 2018) and the European Medicines Agency (July 2018). Erenumab exists in two different doses (70 mg and 140 mg) and it is administered with monthly subcutaneous injections. This review summarises erenumab pharmacological characteristics, clinical trials data, focusing on the potential role of this treatment in clinical practice.
