Vaccine hesitancy refers to delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines despite the availability vaccine services. Despite efforts United States healthcare providers vaccinate bulk its population, is still a severe challenge that has led resurgence COVID-19 cases over 100,000 people during early August 2021. To our knowledge, there are limited nationwide studies examined spatial distribution vaccination rates, mainly based on social vulnerability index (SVI). In this study, we compiled database percentage fully vaccinated at county scale across continental as 29 July 2021, along with SVI data potential significant covariates. We further employed multiscale geographically weighted regression model nonstationarity rates. Our findings indicated could explain 79% variance rate Per capita income and Minority (%) (with positive impacts), Age 17 younger (%), Mobile homes Uninsured negative effects). However, impact each covariate varied for different counties due using separate optimal bandwidths. This timely study can serve geospatial reference support public health decision-makers forming region-specific policies monitoring programs from geographic perspective.

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic was spatially heterogeneous around world; transmission disease is driven by complex spatial and temporal variations in socioenvironmental factors. Spatial tools are useful supporting control programs. A substantive review merits methodological approaches used to understand epidemiology hardly undertaken. In this study, we reviewed identify spatiotemporal socioeconomic, demographic climatic drivers such variations.

Abstract Background The COVID‐19 demanded efficient and effective supply of information to the public help reduce rate transmission. Objectives This study aims analyse Omanis' behaviour during pandemic, national authorities prepare for future health crises or pandemics. Methods A self‐administered online survey involving a structured open‐ended questionnaire was conducted via SurveyMonkey software. Snowball convenience sampling methods were used recruit potential participants from social media sites like Instagram, Twitter Facebook. Non‐parametric testing (Mann–Whitney U Kruskal–Wallis H tests) assisted in analysis demographic factors. Descriptive statistical identified trends needs seeking behaviour. Results Over 6000 responses obtained. results revealed that Oman nationals on symptoms COVID‐19, global infection rates, preventive measures, treatment vaccines. Primary sources radio news, TV, international print media, healthcare professionals, agencies news websites. Discussion There little trust local with many Omanis relying such as WHO TV networks.

To meet indicator 3.7.2 in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Thailand must reduce adolescent birth rate (ABR) to below 15 per 1,000 women aged 15–19 years by 2027, down from 20.9 2023. This study aims describe ABRs geographically, identify hot and cold spots as well spatial outliers, determine association between contextual factors at district level 2009 2018. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) were employed examine patterns of factors, separately for 2009–2012 2013–2018 periods. during both periods spatially random.

Density has gained considerable attention in policy and scientific discourses since the emergence of COVID-19. In early days, density was blamed as a negative factor that accelerates transmission coronavirus urban areas. Following this, many studies have examined impact on spread This offers good opportunity to examine synthesize insights reported literature understand how affected virus. To do so, we conducted systematic review 134 papers, which around 58 % them found positive predictor. However, relationship between virus is complex mediated by factors such scale, context, methods used for analysis, other built environment factors. Hence, assert infection rate not straightforward, assertions about effects COVID-19 can only be made with caution. Comprehensive analyses taking into account multiple interrelated need carried out before any conclusions regarding this issue drawn. Therefore, it advisable refrain from making premature statements due their potential adverse efforts toward development cities are resilient climate change contribute achieving sustainable goals.

Introduction COVID-19, being a new type of infectious disease, holds significant implications for scientific prevention and control to understand its spatiotemporal transmission process. This study examines the diverse spatial patterns COVID-19 within Wuhan by analyzing early case data alongside urban infrastructure information. Methods Through co-location analysis, we assess both local global risks linked epidemic. In addition, use Geodetector, identifying facilities displaying unique risk characteristics, revealing factors contributing heightened risk. Results Our findings unveil noticeable distribution in city, notably influenced road networks functional zones. Higher levels are observed central city compared outskirts. Specific such as parking, residence, ATM, bank, entertainment, hospital consistently exhibit connections with sites. Conversely, like subway station, dessert restaurant, movie theater display stronger association sites distance increases, hinting at their potential outbreak focal points. Discussion Despite our success containing recent outbreak, uncertainties persist regarding origin initial spread. Some experts caution that increased human activity, similar outbreaks might become more frequent. research provides comprehensive analytical framework centered on facilities, quantitatively understanding impact outbreaks. It enriches interconnectedness between facility transportation flow, affirming refining decay law governing disease risks. Furthermore, offers practical guidance post-epidemic planning, promoting development safer environments resilient epidemics. equips government bodies reliable quantitative analysis method accurately predicting assessing conclusion, this furnishes theoretical empirical support tailoring distinct strategies prevent
