Abstract
This study estimated accuracy of survey-reported hepatitis A and B vaccination among adults at increased risk. Survey responses from patients at 2 large health care systems in Colorado were compared with vaccination records in electronic health records and the state immunization registry. For hepatitis A vaccine, net bias was 5.6% (relative bias, 38.6%; sensitivity, 52.5%; specificity, 85.3%). For hepatitis B vaccine, net bias was 6.5% (relative bias, 28.6%; sensitivity, 43.4%; specificity, 75.1%). Despite low sensitivity, self-reported vaccination status may be sufficiently accurate for use in the development of vaccine policies and public health actions for improving hepatitis A and B coverage.
期刊介绍:
Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal established by the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. The mission of PCD is to promote the open exchange of information and knowledge among researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and others who strive to improve the health of the public through chronic disease prevention. The vision of PCD is to be the premier forum where practitioners and policy makers inform research and researchers help practitioners and policy makers more effectively improve the health of the population. Articles focus on preventing and controlling chronic diseases and conditions, promoting health, and examining the biological, behavioral, physical, and social determinants of health and their impact on quality of life, morbidity, and mortality across the life span.
