“…Our findings support previous studies highlighting the role of religious centers in hosting faith-based health ministries, community engagement/mobilization events, and social change communication outreaches to create awareness about HPV vaccination to their members (Brandt et al, 2019 ; Lahijani et al, 2021 ). These events may have exposed parents who practice ORA to HPV-related information, causing them to report higher intention to seek HPV information.…”

“…Therefore, religious leaders may leverage their influence to advocate for HPV vaccination as a viable strategy for preventing HPV-related infections. Also, previous studies suggest that participation in ORA through regular service attendance may expose a parent to the activities of faith-based health ministries and outreaches that offer venue-based health education programs (Brandt et al, 2019 ; Lahijani et al, 2021 ). We hypothesized that ORA would be associated with a higher intention to seek HPV information and to vaccinate a child.…”

Disentangling the Role of Religiosity in Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic

Religion is a complex and sociocultural driver of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination decisions, but its exact role has been mixed/unclear. We used a cross-sectional study of 342 Christian parents to examine the associations between the three domains of religiosity (organizational, non-organizational, and intrinsic) and the intention to (i) seek HPV information and (ii) receive the HPV vaccine. Organizational religiosity was the only domain that was positively associated with information-seeking intention regardless of the type of covariates included. Mixed findings in the association between religiosity and HPV vaccination decisions may depend on the religiosity domain being assessed.

“…[8][9][10] Prior studies have highlighted the influence of the Church on providing social support and promoting positive health behaviors within AAB communities. [11][12][13] We also found evidence to suggest that institutional distrust, as well as mis-information related to side effects, may affect vaccine confidence (in addition to the fear of needles, a common fear among adolescents). 14 Considering the importance of the Church in AAB communities 11 and that nearly a third of our sample lived with an older family member, a socioecological approach 15 that delivers vaccine promoting messaging at multiple levels may be warranted.…”

“…This is likely best accomplished by frontline healthcare workers, as recent evidence suggests that information about vaccines may be most effective for minority individuals when given by a trusted healthcare provider [ 25 ]. Respected community leaders within particularly vulnerable populations (e.g., faith leaders, trusted local spokespersons) can help spread the message and bring transparency about the vaccine, its necessity, efficacy, and potential effects [ 26 ]. Given the unfortunate history of social injustices, many minority groups have legitimate reasons to be suspicious of largescale health efforts directed at their communities [ 27 ].…”

The COVID-19 Vaccine Is Here—Now Who Is Willing to Get It?

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The U.S. vaccine campaign against COVID-19 began in December 2020, but many individuals seem reluctant to get vaccinated. During the first week of the vaccination campaign, we collected data from 1017 individuals with an online survey to identify factors that were associated with willingness to get the vaccine once it is available. Most participants (55.3%) were willing to get the vaccine, although 46.2% also expressed some fear of the vaccine. Political ideology was by far the most consistent predictor of both willingness to be vaccinated and fear of the vaccine, followed by participant sex, education level, income, and race/ethnicity. Our findings suggest that, for the vaccine campaign to be broadly supported and successful, it will be important for frontline healthcare workers to discuss the role of inoculation for COVID-19 in a manner consistent with each individual patient’s political and sociological worldview.
