Multilevel analysis of COVID-19 vaccination intention: the moderating role of economic and cultural country characteristics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Predictors of COVID-19 (coronavirus) vaccination have been extensively researched; however, the contextual factors contributing to understanding vaccination intention remain largely unexplored. The present study aimed to investigate the moderating role of economic development (Gross domestic product - GDP per capita), economic inequality (Gini index), the perceived corruption index and Hofstede's measurements of cultural values-index of individualism/collectivism and power distance index-in the relationship between determinants of satisfaction with the healthcare system, trust in political institutions, conspiracy beliefs and COVID-19 vaccination intention.

Methods

A multilevel modelling approach was employed on a sample of approximately 51 000 individuals nested
