Abstract

This study examined whether specific social factors are associated with COVID-19 vaccination distrust. Data originated from the Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey Phase 3.3 Week 42 collected from January 26 to February 7, 2022. In total, 38,504 adults answered the questions regarding receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, COVID-19 vaccine distrust, and the designated social factors. Logistic regression and ordinal regression were performed to examine specific social factors associated with the COVID-19 vaccine to determine if differences were seen in a dichotomous outcome or scale outcome for distrust. Over 7% of men reported 1 or both types of COVID-19 distrust compared to 6.6% of women. Men were more likely to distrust the COVID-19 vaccine than women. There was a significant association between educational attainment and COVID-19 distrust scale. The same association was seen also in household income and COVID-19 distrust scale. Overall, this study identified specific social factors were a strong predictor of COVID-19 vaccination distrust. These findings can assist public health efforts to reduce the health inequity of COVID-19 vaccination efforts and reduce distrust in racial-ethnic minorities.

美国与 COVID-19 疫苗不信任有关的社会因素

本研究探讨了特定社会因素是否与 COVID-19 疫苗接种不信任有关。数据来源于人口普查局在 2022 年 1 月 26 日至 2 月 7 日期间收集的家庭脉搏调查第 3.3 阶段第 42 周的数据。共有 38504 名成年人回答了有关接种 COVID-19 疫苗、对 COVID-19 疫苗不信任以及指定社会因素的问题。为了研究与 COVID-19 疫苗相关的特定社会因素，我们进行了逻辑回归和序数回归，以确定不信任的二分法结果或量表结果是否存在差异。与 6.6% 的女性相比，超过 7% 的男性报告了一种或两种类型的 COVID-19 不信任。男性比女性更可能不信任 COVID-19 疫苗。受教育程度与 COVID-19 不信任度之间存在明显关联。家庭收入与 COVID-19 不信任度之间也存在同样的联系。总体而言，本研究发现特定的社会因素是预测 COVID-19 疫苗不信任度的重要因素。这些发现有助于公共卫生工作减少 COVID-19 疫苗接种工作中的健康不公平现象，并减少少数种族的不信任。
