Universities are considered high risk areas for COVID-19 outbreaks given the crowded environment of campuses with mobility and limited space. As such, vaccination is an essential intervention that could greatly reduce incidence spread this deadly infectious disease. However, willingness college students to receive vaccine varies significantly. Therefore, a study on acceptance vaccines in explores attitudes, knowledge, willingness, key factors influencing great significance improve coverage control pandemic. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from three universities China. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t tests/one-way ANOVA (normal distribution), Mann-Whitney U tests/Kruskal-Wallis H tests (skewness distribution) multivariate linear regression were performed. result, total 3,256 participated survey. Students' (86%), they had good knowledge (77.9%). low-risk perception less positive attitudes toward (69.8%). The main sex, age, specialty, grades, living environment, spending level, traveling areas, family members' experiences.

This study aims examine during a low-risk period in urban China.A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 2244 adults China. Descriptive analyses were performed compare respondents' vaccination. Multivariate logistic regressions fitted investigate factors associated with two measures.In early 2021, about half (52.45%) respondents had received or scheduled test at least once, majority (95.63%) willing receive testing. About two-thirds (63.28%) received/scheduled vaccine. Willingness not socio-demographic characteristics, except for occupation.

Abstract Mental wellbeing of university students is a growing concern that has been worsening during the COVID-19 pandemic. Numerous studies have gathered empirical data to explore mental health impact pandemic on and investigate factors associated with higher levels distress. While online questionnaire survey prevalent means collect data, regression analysis observed dominating approach interpret understand independent state interest. Drawbacks such as sensitivity outliers, ineffectiveness in case multiple predictors highly correlated may limit use complex scenarios. These observations motivate underlying research propose alternative computational methods data. Inspired by recent machine learning advances, this aims construct framework through feature permutation importance empower application variety algorithms originate from different frameworks theories, including cannot directly provide exact numerical contributions individual factors. This would enable quantitative influencing student perspectives result using algorithms, thus complementing single view due dominant regression. Applying proposed over an UK university, suggests past medical record history experience adversity contribute significantly states; frequent communication families friends keep good relationship well regular exercise are generally contributing improved wellbeing.
