Abstract Background Negative attitudes toward vaccines and suboptimal vaccination rates among African American Black (Black) Americans have been well documented, due to a history of medical racism human rights violations in the United States. However, digital health interventions (DHI) shown address racial disparities several outcomes, such as cardiovascular disease, HIV, maternal health. The Tough Talks COVID (TT-C) study was randomized controlled trial DHI designed empower young adults States South make informed, autonomous decisions about COVID-19 vaccine uptake by addressing structural barriers misinformation vaccines. Objective Our objective identify subgroups with various at baseline determine for which TT-C most impactful. Methods aged 18‐29 years Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina who were unvaccinated or insufficiently vaccinated against completed three online surveys over months (N=360). Latent profile analysis used based on general baseline, including hesitancy, confidence, knowledge, conspiracy beliefs, mistrust. Logistic regression examine associations between latent profiles uptake, linear changes post-randomization. Modification DHI’s effects assessed profiles. Results Three emerged: vaccine-receptive (n=124), vaccine-neutral (n=155), vaccine-resistant (n=81). Political affiliation, income, social support, recent flu differed significantly ( P <.05). Vaccine not different subgroup, TTC-DHI did differing across subgroups. had strongest effect—with statistically significant measures association <.05) interaction values P< .10)—among compared improving beliefs months: difference: −0.40 (−0.76 −0.37), 0.39 (0.02 0.75), −0.47 (−0.86 −0.09); neutral −0.36 (−0.52 −0.19), 0.35 (0.18 0.51), −0.24 (−0.44 −0.03). no these outcomes subgroup.

Vaccine hesitancy is a challenge for the success and optimal implementation of COVID-19 immunization programs in US. The objective this study was to summarize multilevel determinants vaccination intention US inform future intervention opportunities. To end, we conducted rapid systematic review by searching published articles via PubMed October 5, 2021, following PRISMA guidelines. One hundred six were included. According nationally representative studies, overall acceptance rate ranges from 53.6% 84.4%. Individual (demographics, health history, behaviors beliefs), interpersonal (having close friend/family member impacted COVID-19), healthcare societal level factors (healthcare provider recommendations, source/credential related information, conspiracy theories) all contributed vaccine This demonstrates that vaccines influenced various factors, particularly role providers enhancing public intent vaccination. Potential interventions mitigate people's concerns over address vaccine-related conspiracy/misinformation social media are also critical encourage uptake

Abstract During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, we have witnessed profound health inequities suffered by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). These manifested as differential access to testing early in rates severe death 2–3 times higher than white Americans, and, now, significantly lower vaccine uptake compared with their share population affected COVID-19. This article explores impact these COVID-19 (and underlying cause, structural racism) on acceptance BIPOC populations, ways establish trustworthiness healthcare institutions, increase for communities, inspire confidence vaccines.

The theory that health behaviors spread through social groups implies efforts to control COVID-19 vaccination will succeed if people believe others in their are getting vaccinated. But “others” can refer many groups, including one’s family, neighbors, fellow city or state dwellers, copartisans. One challenge examining these understudied distinctions is factors may confound observed relationships between perceived norms (what do) and intended themselves do), as there plausible common causes for both. We address issues using survey data collected the United States during late fall 2020 ( n = 824) spring 2021 996) a matched design approximates pair-randomized experiments. find strong relationship intentions when controlling real risk (e.g., age), well dimensions known predict preventive trust scientists). strength of declines queried group grows larger more heterogeneous. copartisans second magnitude family friends among Republicans but undetectable Democrats. Sensitivity analysis shows could be explained away only by an unmeasured variable with large effects (odds ratios 2 15) on perceptions intentions. In addition, prediction from “false consensus” view cause not supported. discuss implications public policy understanding norms.

It postulated that mistrust the healthcare system experiences of discrimination or unfair treatment other settings may be barriers to vaccine, although few studies date investigated medical perceived together. We conducted a cross-sectional online survey between April 23-May 3, 2021, among national sample U.S. adults ages 18 years older. assessed receipt intention vaccinated for associations with validated Medical Mistrust Index Everyday Discrimination Scale. 1449 individuals responded, whom 70.2% either had ≥1 dose reported they were 'very' 'somewhat' likely future. In bivariate analyses, vaccination status was significantly associated age, race/ethnicity, education, income, employment, marital status, insurance, political party affiliation. multivariable analyses comparing those who get future not any doses did intend vaccinated, each additional point independently 16% decrease odds (adjusted ratio = 0.84; 95% confidence interval 0.81, 0.86).

The study used a population-based cross-sectional design. Data from BlackVax dataset on vaccination Black individuals Canada was analyzed (n = 2002, 51.66% women). Logistic regression analyses were performed to between MRD independent variables. 32.55% participants declared having experienced services. Participants less vaccinated against COVID-19, presented higher scores mistrust, beliefs, related stress, had lower resilience. They more likely experience depression (AOR 2.13, P < 0.001), anxiety 2.00, symptoms 2.15, 0.001). who be unvaccinated 1.35, 0.009). Racial by health is public concern threat population Canada.

Vaccine that were in North America (85.6%) higher than Asia (79.5%), Europe (72.8%), Africa (65.6%). prevalence 83.6% 77.4% physicians nurses, respectively.

Objectives. To analyze rural–urban differences in COVID-19 vaccination uptake, hesitancy, and trust information sources the United States. Methods. We used data from a large survey of Facebook users. computed vaccination, decline rates proportions among individuals hesitant toward for rural urban regions each state May 2021 to April 2022. Results. In 48 states with adequate data, on average, two thirds showed statistically significant monthly between regions, having lower rate at all times. Far fewer when comparing hesitancy versus regions. Doctors health professionals received highest level trust. Friends family were also most trusted areas where uptake was low. Conclusions. Rural–urban difference those still unvaccinated much smaller than rates, suggesting that access vaccines may be another contributor areas.
