Important Barriers to COVID-19 Vaccination Among African Americans in Black Belt Region.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To identify important barriers to COVID-19 vaccination among African Americans living in the Black Belt region.

Methods

A cross-sectional, web-based questionnaire survey was conducted using best-worst scaling case 1 (the object case). Thirty-two potential barriers to COVID-19 vaccination were identified from the literature and confirmed by an expert. A nested balanced incomplete block design was used to generate 62 sets of 16 choice tasks. Each choice task included six barriers. Participants were asked to choose the most and least important barriers to their COVID-19 vaccination in each choice task of one set. The natural logarithm of the square root of best counts divided by the worst counts of each barrier was calculated to rank the importance of barriers.
