This study aims to investigate the depression levels among Workers with Agricultural Hukou (WAH) in China, considering their varied living environments, types of work, and social discrimination experiences. It specifically addresses research question: Is there a significant discrepancy different subgroups within WAH? The utilizes data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) for years 2018 2020. To estimate variances across WAH subgroups, we employed three analytical methods: Ordinary Least Squares, Propensity Score Matching, Two-Stage Squares. Our findings indicate that all experience higher compared Non-Agricultural (WNAH). Among levels, ascending order, are observed Rural-to-Urban Migrant (RUMW), Rural (RNAW), Subsistence Farmers, Laborers. Notably, these differences may be influenced by mechanism cognitive openness. concludes disparities subgroups. Understanding is crucial targeted mental health interventions addressing broader implications work-related stress agricultural workers China.

Exploring the relationship between experience of vaccine adverse events and vaccine hesitancy: A scoping review

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 21(1)

Published: March 9, 2025

Fear of side effects is the main motive for vaccine refusal. However, before COVID-19 pandemic, little attention had been paid to actual experience adverse events and its relationship with hesitancy. This scoping review aimed analyze impact VH on EAE vice versa. We reviewed 55 articles. Most studies focused vaccination employed cross-sectional surveys self-reported indicators. These identified significant correlations between VH. Social cognitive models shed some light influence VH, while converse usually explained by nocebo effect that predominately accounts converse. emerging research field hampered inconsistencies in theoretical explanations, assessments relationship, measurements these two phenomena. A more comprehensive consideration individual experience, both objective subjective, would help develop effective communication strategies improve pharmacological surveillance.

Vaccine uptake and adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions at a youth mass gathering event: A longitudinal field cohort study

Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 102853 - 102853

Published: April 1, 2025

Youth mass gathering events attract thousands of travellers and produce high-exposure conditions for respiratory pathogens other communicable diseases. Adolescents young adults have high social circulation show higher infection rates viral threats like SARS-CoV2 than age groups. How people self-manage their elevated disease risk in travel settings such as is under-researched. This study examined vaccination rates, attitudes, adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions (e.g., mask-wearing, physical distancing) at a youth event during the global COVID-19 pandemic (Oct-Dec 2021). Longitudinal cohort design with online surveys 1 month pre- (T0), (T1-T3) post- (T4) event. Participants were N=291 Australian school-leavers (16-19 years) end-of-school celebrations called 'Schoolies'. reported origin whether they attended an official Schoolies festival (primary site), or elsewhere (secondary sites). Surveys measured vaccine uptake, vaccine-related interventions. At T0, 88% vaccinated. Pro-vaccine attitudes strong positive correlate vaccination. Primary site (versus secondary site) attendees held more favourable toward vaccination, perceiving safety, effectiveness, importance, lower risk. Vaccine uptake T0 was associated poorer subsequent distancing. Adherence declined event; but 'rebounded' post-event corresponding Australia's first omicron wave. Findings provide longitudinal picture non-mandated event, insights prospective management health risks after vaccinations.

Abstract Infectious diseases pose significant challenges to public health, leading illness and even death. Vaccinations are vital for protecting society, yet beliefs in conspiracy theories related infectious increase vaccine hesitancy. This paper delves into vaccination decisions the context of COVID‐19, which continues strain health care system. While past research focuses on countering conspiratorial with cognitive persuasion interventions, we propose a social intervention as an alternative. Our novel seeks mitigate effects by fostering individuals' interdependent self‐construal – viewing oneself relationships. Interdependent was operationalized multiple ways (measured Studies 1, 2 3; manipulated test causality 4 5). Conspiratorial were also Study 5. The results show that association between hesitancy is weakened among individuals whose more accessible. Moreover, this effect mediated prosocial motivation. We discuss implications our findings developing communicating policies potential contexts where may be relevant, thereby providing valuable insights enhancing societal well‐being face beliefs.
