dc.description.abstractFraming the Problem: Why Focus on Youth Vaccine Confidence? While adult vaccination decision-making has an abundence of literature, adolescents and emerging adults continue to show uneven vaccine uptake. My work helped frame the urgency of studying this age group by examining why youth-specific strategies are needed. Young people are not just "mini-adults", their vaccine decisions are shaped by autonomy, social networks, and digital media environments. Peer and parent influence, distrust in institutions, and exposure to social media misinformation all play key roles.
