Psychosocial correlates of free Mpox vaccination intention among men who have sex with men in China: model construction and validation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The outbreak of Mpox in China has rendered the promotion of effective preventive measures among susceptible populations particularly crucial. We aimed to explore the correlates and develop a model for Mpox vaccination intention.

We used the receiver operating characteris
