Predictors of COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy in China: a meta-analysis

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to examine predictors and moderators of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Chinese cultural contexts.

Study design

A meta-analysis and meta-regression analyses were conducted to examine the associations between predictors and vaccine hesitancy as well as moderators that may impact these associations.

Methods

We searched relevant articles from January 1, 2020, to May 12, 2022, in the databases of Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global and CNKI. Weighted average effect sizes (e.g., odds ratio) and 95% confidence intervals were computed in Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0 using random-effects models. Heterogeneity tests were conducted prior to moderation analyses.
