Technologies, health treatments, ideas or behaviors can all be innovative practices that bring societal changes if they are largely adopted by individuals, states, organizations. Grounded in the theory of diffusion innovation, this dissertation aims at uncovering some factors explaining three practices: feminist rallies named SlutWalks, gender equity strategies for STEM academia workforce and Covid-19 vaccines.

In December 2020 the U.S. began a massive COVID-19 vaccination campaign, an action that researchers felt could catalyze inequalities in utilization. While vaccines have potential to be accessible regardless of social status, objective this study was examine how and when socioeconomic status (SES) racial/ethnic would emerge distribution.Population rates reported at county level by Centers for Disease Control Prevention across 46 states on 3/30/2021. Correlates included SES, share population who were Black, Hispanic, Female, or aged ≥65 years, urbanicity (thousands residents per square mile). Multivariable-adjusted analyses relied zero-inflated negative binomial regression estimate odds providing any vaccine, rate ratios (aVRR) comparing distribution vaccinations U.S.Across U.S., 16.3 % adults 37.9 65 older vaccinated lower SES counties, while 20.45 all 48.15 higher counties.

The burden of COVID-19 was heterogeneous, indicating that the effects this disease are synergistic with both other non-communicable diseases and socioeconomic status (SES), highlighting its syndemic character. While appearance vaccines moderated pandemic effects, their coverage heterogeneous too, when comparing different countries, populations within countries. Of note, once again SES appears to be a correlated factor. We analyzed publicly available data detailing percentage school-aged, vaccinated children in municipalities belonging Metropolitan Area (MA) Santiago, Chile. Vaccination compiled per school type, either public, state-subsidized, or private, at three dates during cover dispersion Delta, Omicron, subvariants BA.4 BA.5. computed median vaccination ratio for each municipality type calculated Spearman's rank correlation coefficient one nine indices. school-age who received vaccinations against correlates SES. This strong is observed public state-subsidized schools, but not private schools. Although inequity decreased over time, it remained higher among students enrolled schools compared those insufficient explore plausible causes behind lower coverage, likely combination factors including lack proper information about importance vaccination, incentives children's low trust government, limited access lower-income people, may all have contributed. These findings raise need design better strategies overcome shortcomings campaigns confront future pandemics.

Data from National Immunization Program Information System were used estimate covid-19 vaccine coverage. Brazilian municipalities divided into groups based on their for booster dose. The group comprised 20% with lowest coverage, while second (80% municipalities) had higher analysis was conducted separately four age groups: 5–11, 12–17, 18–59, 60+.

(1) Background: France implemented a COVID-19 certificate in July 2021 to incentivize the population uptake vaccines. However, little is known about variation its impact across age groups and dependence on socio-demographic, economic, logistic, or political factors. (2) Methods: Using France’s weekly first dose vaccination rate, counterfactual trend approach allowed for estimation of rate at small geographical level before after implementation health pass. The effect pass was operationalized as among those who would not be vaccinated without it. (3) Results: Vaccination varied greatly mainly influenced by territory (lower rural overseas territories when compared urban metropolitan ones), beliefs, socio-economic disparities. Vaccine logistics played minor but significant role, while did affect rate. increased overall with varying efficiency groups. It convinced young people politically close governmental strategy living areas low socio-economical discrepancies. selected variables explained most variability pass; they explained, most, third vaccination.
