“…Our study showed that the expected vaccination uptake is largely dependent on the seriousness of a pandemic. This was also shown in previous studies, including studies conducted in the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Sweden [39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. During the influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic, the perceived vulnerability was low and respondents believed that they were less likely to become infected than other people [41,46].…”

Public preferences for vaccination programmes during pandemics caused by pathogens transmitted through respiratory droplets – a discrete choice experiment in four European countries, 2013

This study aims to quantify and compare preferences of citizens from different European countries for vaccination programme characteristics during pandemics, caused by pathogens which are transmitted through respiratory droplets. Internet panel members, nationally representative based on age, sex, educational level and region, of four European Union Member States (Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and Sweden, n = 2,068) completed an online discrete choice experiment. These countries, from different geographical areas of Europe, were chosen because of the availability of high-quality Internet panels and because of the cooperation between members of the project entitled Effective Communication in Outbreak Management: development of an evidence-based tool for Europe (ECOM). Data were analysed using panel latent class regression models. In the case of a severe pandemic scenario, vaccine effectiveness was the most important characteristic determining vaccination preference in all countries, followed by the body that advises on vaccination. In Sweden, the advice of family and/or friends and the advice of physicians strongly affected vaccine preferences, in contrast to Poland and Spain, where the advice of (international) health authorities was more decisive. Irrespective of pandemic scenario or vaccination programme characteristics, the predicted vaccination uptakes were lowest in Sweden, and highest in Poland. To increase vaccination uptake during future pandemics, the responsible authorities should align with other important stakeholders in the country and communicate in a coordinated manner.

“…The perception of social alarm regarding H1N1 influenza was similar to that in other population‐based studies . However, this perception of social alarm was slightly higher in primary schools, where perceived absenteeism among students was also higher than in schools imparting secondary education only.…”

“…As observed in other studies, electronic mail was found to be an appropriate communication channel, as nearly all the schools reported having received the information in this way and it was highly valued. In future potential threats, the use of similar communication strategies would seem a good choice.…”

“…Among the strengths of the study are the high response rate (>80%), which is far higher than those obtained in similar studies performed among students and teachers. 20,21,27 This response rate, the low percentage of missing values together with the lack of observed differences in the sociodemographic variables studied (ownership, educational level, and school's SES) between the sample and the study population, supports the representativeness of the results.…”

Determinants of health behaviours intended to prevent spread of respiratory pathogens that have pandemic potential: A rapid review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Effective public health messages to encourage behaviours to reduce the spread of COVID-19 should be informed by existing research that identifies the factors that are associated with these preventive behaviours. This rapid review summarises the existing research on the determinants of behaviours that aim to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The review focuses on the body of research (excluding research conducted with health care workers) that was produced in the context of viruses other than SARS CoV-2 that cause severe respiratory illness and are transmitted in a similar way. A total of 58 published peer-reviewed studies included in the review were identified through searches of Medline, Embase, PsychInfo and CINAHL. Most were conducted in the context of the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic in 2009. Most studies examined the determinants of wearing a face covering, handwashing and social or physical distancing. The findings suggest that public health messages to encourage preventive behaviours should emphasise the potential seriousness of COVID-19 to elicit appropriate concern, strengthen perceptions of risk or threat from COVID-19, enhance self-efficacy about preventive behaviours, and improve knowledge about SARS-CoV-2, how it is transmitted, and how preventive behaviours can reduce the risk of transmission.

Abstract: In addition to demographic factors, modifiable factors such as personal beliefs and expectations play a role in the adoption of preventive measures.
