Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine intent among Latino SNAP participants in Southern California.

ABSTRACT:

Background

COVID-19 is significantly impacting the health and well-being of the country, particularly for ethnic minority populations and low-income groups. Our goal was to determine COVID-19 vaccination intent in a low-income, Latino population receiving aid from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Southern California, and identify contributing factors and concerns.

Methods

A cross-sectional, mixed-methods survey was conducted among participants in the Southern California Nutrition Incentives Program (¡Más Fresco! More Fresh). Only Latino respondents were included in this analysis. Primary outcome was vaccine intent trichotomized into: "definitely/likely yes", "not sure/don't know", and "definitely/likely not."

Results

The majority of participants
