Abstract

Public health communication campaign planners must carefully consider whether misinformation beliefs are important to target and, ideally, correct. Guided by the reasoned action approach, we hypothesized that behavior-specific beliefs regarding COVID-19 vaccination would account for any observed relationship between general coronavirus misinformation beliefs (misinformation beliefs that are not specific to the anticipated consequences of COVID-19 vaccination) and subsequent vaccine uptake. To test our hypothesis, we used panel data from a two-wave nationally representative sample of U.S. adults pre- and post-vaccine availability (T1: July 2020, T2: April/June 2021, analytic sample: n = 665). Contrary to our hypothesis, we find a residual observed relationship between general coronavirus misinformation beliefs and subsequent vaccine uptake (AOR = 0.40, SE = 0.10). Intriguingly, our post-hoc analyses do show that after also adjusting for T2 behavioral beliefs, this association was no longer significant. With this and other justifications, we recommend that messages promoting vaccination prioritize targeting relevant behavioral beliefs.

促进疫苗接种的宣传活动是否应消除错误信息信念？一项具有全国代表性的美国成年人纵向调查研究的启示》。

公共卫生传播活动的策划者必须仔细考虑错误信息信念是否是重要的目标，并在理想情况下予以纠正。在合理行动方法的指导下，我们假设有关 COVID-19 疫苗接种的特定行为信念将解释所观察到的一般冠状病毒错误信息信念（非针对 COVID-19 疫苗接种预期后果的错误信息信念）与后续疫苗接种率之间的关系。为了验证我们的假设，我们使用了疫苗接种前后两波具有全国代表性的美国成年人样本的面板数据（T1：2020 年 7 月，T2：2021 年 4 月/6 月，分析样本：n = 665）。与我们的假设相反，我们发现一般冠状病毒错误信息信念与后续疫苗接种之间存在残差观察关系（AOR = 0.40，SE = 0.10）。耐人寻味的是，我们的事后分析表明，在对 T2 行为信念进行调整后，这种关系不再显著。有鉴于此和其他原因，我们建议在宣传疫苗接种时优先考虑相关的行为信念。
