Abstract

Objectives: To understand the extent of racial disparities in SARS-CoV-2 vaccination among PWH and those vulnerable to HIV infection and to estimate the contributions of medical mistrust and vaccine-hesitant attitudes to these disparities.

Design: Quantitative data analyses in a racially and gender diverse, mixed-serostatus prospective cohort, the MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study.

Methods: Interviewer-assisted questionnaires assessed SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, medical mistrust, and vaccine-hesitant attitudes from March 2021-September 2022 (n=3948). Longitudinal analyses assessed effects of sociodemographics on medical mistrust and vaccine-hesitant attitudes. A hierarchical multivariable logistic regression assessed effects of these co-factors on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. Causal mediation models assessed whether a) medical mistrust mediated the relationship between Black identity and vaccine-hesitant attitudes, and b) vaccine-hesitant attitudes mediated the relationship between Black identity and SARS-CoV-2 non-vaccination.

Results: Participants' mean age was 56.7; 55.3% were Black, 52.6% cisgender female, 62.6% PWH. 10.1% reported never receiving SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations (13.4% of Black and 4.5% of white participants). Black-identified participants had higher odds of non-vaccination than white participants (aOR = 1.72; 95% CI: 1.08, 2.72). Medical mistrust mediated the relationship between Black identity and vaccine-hesitant attitudes, accounting for 46.0% of the effect (p < 0.0001). Vaccine-hesitant attitudes mediated the relationship between Black identity and SARS-CoV-2 non-vaccination to the extent that 57.7% (95% CI: 25.3%, 90.1%) of the disparity would be eliminated if vaccine-hesitant attitudes among Black respondents were reduced to levels reported among other racial groups.

Conclusions: Findings indicate a profound need to build trustworthy healthcare environments to combat medical mistrust and vaccine-hesitant attitudes in Black communities in the U.S, including those affected by HIV.

医疗不信任和疫苗恐惧态度解释了混合血统人群中 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗接种的差异。

目的了解残疾人和易感染艾滋病病毒者在接种 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗方面的种族差异程度，并估计医疗不信任和疫苗恐惧态度对这些差异的影响：设计：对一个种族和性别多元化、混合血统的前瞻性队列--MACS/WIHS联合队列研究--进行定量数据分析：受访者辅助问卷调查评估了 2021 年 3 月至 2022 年 9 月期间的 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗接种情况、对医疗的不信任以及对疫苗的恐惧态度（n=3948）。纵向分析评估了社会人口统计学对医疗不信任和疫苗恐惧态度的影响。分层多变量逻辑回归评估了这些共同因素对 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗接种的影响。因果中介模型评估了 a) 医疗不信任是否中介了黑人身份与疫苗犹豫态度之间的关系，以及 b) 疫苗犹豫态度是否中介了黑人身份与不接种 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗之间的关系：参与者的平均年龄为 56.7 岁；55.3% 为黑人，52.6% 为顺性女性，62.6% 为公共卫生人员。10.1%的参与者称从未接种过 SARS-CoV-2 疫苗（黑人为 13.4%，白人为 4.5%）。黑人参与者未接种疫苗的几率高于白人参与者（aOR = 1.72；95% CI：1.08，2.72）。医疗不信任在黑人身份与不接种疫苗态度之间起到了中介作用，占影响的 46.0%（P 结论：黑人身份与不接种疫苗态度之间的关系是由医疗不信任引起的：研究结果表明，在美国黑人社区，包括受艾滋病影响的黑人社区，亟需建立值得信赖的医疗保健环境，以消除医疗不信任和疫苗恐惧态度。
