In this study, we aimed to examine temporal trends in health behaviors among South Korean adults from 2017 to 2023 using data from the Korea Community Health Survey. Changes in smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, dietary habits, and healthcare utilization were analyzed across three phases: pre-pandemic (2017-2019), peak social distancing (2020-2021), and post-pandemic transition (2022-2023). Subgroup comparisons were conducted by region (capital, non-capital urban, and rural) and income level (high, middle, and low). Our results showed that behaviors, such as alcohol consumption and physical activity, fluctuated during the pandemic and showed signs of recovery. In contrast, others, such as breakfast consumption, declined consistently. Variations in behavioral changes were observed in the region and income group, highlighting socioeconomic and geographic disparities. These findings suggested that pandemic-related disruptions are associated with long-term changes in health behavior. Furthermore, it highlighted the need for tailored public health strategies to support behavioral recovery and address health inequities.","PeriodicalId":55395,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146203873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this cross-sectional study, participants completed the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) to assess ToM, the Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) to measure social functioning, the Brief Irritability Test (BiTe) for irritability, the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-2) for psychological flexibility, and the Valued Living Questionnaire (VLQ) to assess valued living. Hierarchical linear regression and correlation analyses were conducted to determine explanatory variables of social functioning and the role of irritability, psychological flexibility, and valued living. Patients with BD demonstrated lower ToM abilities, psychological flexibility, valued living scores, and higher irritability levels compared to controls. Social functioning was also impaired in the BD group. In healthy controls, ToM performance was associated with social functioning. Psychological flexibility and valued living were correlated with social functioning, indicating that these factors may play a prominent role in functional impairment in BD. While ToM deficits were associated with social functioning in healthy individuals, this relationship was not evident in remitted patients with BD. This suggests other factors, beyond ToM, contribute to social functioning deficits in BD. Further research is needed to clarify these complex relationships.","PeriodicalId":55395,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146203819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, greater attention is needed to understand the shifting dynamics of vaccine messaging amid rampant uncertainty across the United States, including its impact on vaccine uptake behaviors over time. Our study presented a unique opportunity to longitudinally explore how perceived uncertainties in COVID-19 vaccine messaging shaped vaccine uptake behaviors among participants enrolled in a remote, nationwide COVID-19 trial in the United States. In-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted virtually across two timepoints (T1: December 2020 to March 2021, n = 19; T2: January to February 2022, n = 11). Analysis was guided by immersion crystallization; an inductive and deductive approach to identifying themes and the relationships between them. Most participants (aged 32-74) resided in California (T1: 58%, T2: 45%) and self-identified as white (T1: 63%; T2: 73%) and/or cisgender women (T1: 63%; T2: 55%). All participants expressed interest in the COVID-19 vaccine at T1, among which 21% received their first dose as members of priority groups. By T2, all participants obtained the primary COVID-19 vaccine series, and 73% received a booster. Key themes included: (1) self-efficacy in the absence of cohesive information; (2) shifting guidelines heightened perceived barriers and uncertainties; and (3) unresolved messaging fueled skepticism and reduced trust in public health. Findings underscore how logistical and scientific uncertainties can be detrimental to long-term vaccine uptake, albeit acting in different ways. Communicating uncertainties necessitates iterative, public participation to advance health and scientific literacy, mitigate vaccine skepticism, and sustain vaccine uptake behaviors over time.","PeriodicalId":55395,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Medicine","volume":"52 1","pages":"50-64"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145954055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the perceptions, attitudes, and concerns surrounding HIV vaccination among African American MSM is essential for healthcare providers and stakeholders to communicate and promote vaccine adoption effectively. Using the Health Belief Model and Extended Parallel Processing Model, the study sought to identify factors that would encourage vaccination among HIV vaccine procrastinators-individuals likely to delay getting the vaccine for more than a year-to uptake a hypothetical HIV vaccine. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 432 African American MSM, 18-64 years, residing in the United States. Multivariable logistic regression analysis examined factors influencing the intention to enhance vaccination among HIV vaccine procrastinators who are at risk for HIV. Vaccine procrastinators are more likely to be older, have a greater fear of HIV stigma, perceive low discrimination when receiving HIV prevention support due to their African American MSM identity, do not use PrEP, and have more significant concerns about vaccine safety compared to non-vaccine procrastinators. The absence of understanding HIV vaccine perceptions represents a missed opportunity to inform and guide healthcare providers and policymakers once an HIV vaccine becomes available.","PeriodicalId":55395,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Medicine","volume":"52 1","pages":"39-49"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145954070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to (a) identify groups of adults with similar emotional responses to COVID-19 via latent profile analysis and (b) examine differences in vaccine intentions and uptake between emotion groups. Data were drawn from two samples designed to approximate nationally representative samples of US adults. The first survey (N = 3,853) was administered between December 2020 and January 2021, amid emergency authorization for COVID-19 vaccination. The second survey (N = 3,528) was administered in August 2021, alongside FDA COVID-19 vaccination approval. Five emotion profiles were replicated across the samples: \"Emotionally Unaffected,\" \"Contempt,\" \"Low Emotional Effect,\" \"Moderate Emotional Effect,\" and \"High Emotional Effect,\" which were differentially associated with vaccine intentions and behavior. Negative emotions varied in their effects: Participants in the \"Contempt\" group were most likely to reject the vaccine (Sample 1) and remain unvaccinated (Sample 2), whereas those in the \"High Emotional Effect\" group were less likely to be vaccine hesitant (Sample 1) and had the highest vaccination rates (Sample 2). Concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine also varied by emotion group among unvaccinated participants (Sample 2). Taken together, these novel findings highlight the need for emotion-responsive public health messaging. We suggest that COVID-19 vaccine communication strategies should be tailored to address people's distinct emotional responses, including those driven by anger and disgust, to improve the effectiveness of vaccination campaigns.","PeriodicalId":55395,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Medicine","volume":"52 1","pages":"65-74"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145954065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The measles vaccines (MMR and MMRV) are highly effective at preventing measles infections; however, vaccine coverage varies between racial/ethnic categories. Our objective was to use Minnesota Department of Health data to examine the association between a child's birthing parent's race, ethnicity, and other sociodemographic characteristics, and receipt of the first dose of a measles-containing vaccine by age 24 months. Sociodemographic data came from Minnesota birth certificate records (from 2017 to 2022), which are unique among states in how detailed ethnicity is characterized. During this timeframe, only 80% of the study population received the first dose of a measles-containing vaccine by age 24 months. We identified vaccination inequities by ethnicity, which could not be fully explained by these ethnic groups' differing socioeconomic status. Two groups, Somali-Minnesotan and Ethiopian-Minnesotan (which are often aggregated into a \"Black\" race), had the lowest levels of on-time first dose coverage (Somali = 31%, Ethiopian = 64%). Other factors associated with a lower predicted probability of coverage by 24 months included receiving inadequate prenatal care and lower socioeconomic status. Our main findings demonstrate the importance of racial/ethnic disaggregation when studying vaccine inequities. Collapsing race/ethnicity into broad categories like \"Black\" or \"Hispanic\" obscures a great deal of variability in outcomes. Those who are identified as at-risk for missing vaccine doses, the causes for this, and the possible approaches public health agencies might consider in preventing outbreaks should all differ depending on who is most affected.","PeriodicalId":55395,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"5-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144052858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
