Have social determinants of health affected COVID-19 vaccine uptake? UofIllinois COVID19 coronavirus covid vaccine vaccination health
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaAug 10 2023Reviewed by Sophia Coveney In a recent study published in Vaccine, researchers investigated clinically significant predictors of coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination uptake among individuals with social and medical susceptibility to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, residing in the Essex County of New Jersey.
The social determinants of health framework guided the study, which comprised 641 web-based questionnaires from individuals who participated in a trial conducted to boost SARS-CoV-2 testing rates. Variables analyzed included age, sex, ethnicity, race, sexual preference, substance use or alcohol disorder, chronic diseases , and psychiatric disorders. Knowledge variables included having precise data on COVID-19 prevention and having SARS-CoV-2 infection-related confusion.
Individuals were enrolled in the clinical trial until 10 February 2021. The staff workers and CCB put fliers at churches, bus stops, healthcare agencies, grocery stores, bulletin boards, social service organizations, and pharmacies. The team assessed the disability status based on the American Community Survey of 2008 and measured self-efficacy, i.e., the belief in the ability to adapt, overcome, and have a say in external demands, using the General Self-Efficacy Scale .
Vaccine uptake could be estimated by individual-level factors such as being aged equal to or above 65 years, suffering from HIV-caused acquired immunodeficiency syndrome , having received influenza vaccines, and having a history of SARS-CoV-2 testing. Those who believed in SARS-CoV-2 infection conspiracies showed a lower likelihood of receiving SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.
