预防行为和疫苗接种对于限制冠状病毒的传播及其负面健康后果至关重要。一些社会经济和个人特征会影响预防行为的采取和疫苗的接受，但在以前的研究中，是否有近亲的作用被忽视了。这项研究发现，有近亲（特别是伴侣）与老年欧洲人采取预防行为和接受疫苗呈正相关。因此，无亲属的人，尤其是没有伴侣的老年人，可能会被视为宣传活动和措施的特殊目标，以鼓励抗COVID行为和疫苗接种。家庭通过社会控制和支持机制在塑造其成员的健康行为方面发挥着核心作用。我们调查是否以及在多大程度上近亲（即，伴侣和孩子）对老年人采取预防行为（例如，戴口罩）及接种疫苗。根据欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查（SHARE）的数据，我们将联合收割机的电晕调查（2020年6月至9月和2021年6月至8月）与新冠肺炎疫情前的信息（2019年10月至2020年3月）结合起来。我们发现，有近亲（尤其是伴侣）与采取预防行为和接受COVID-19疫苗的可能性更高有关。结果是强大的控制其他潜在的驱动因素的预防行为和疫苗的接受，并占与亲属同居。我们的研究结果表明，政策制定者和从业者可能会不同地处理无亲属的个人时，促进公共政策措施。
Precautionary behaviors and vaccination are crucial to limit the spread of the coronavirus and its negative health consequences. Several socioeconomic and personal characteristics influence the adoption of precautionary behaviors and vaccine acceptance, but the role of having or not close kin has been overlooked in previous research. This study finds that having close kin (especially a partner) is positively associated with the adoption of precautionary behaviors and vaccine acceptance among older Europeans. Thus, kinless people, in particular unpartnered older individuals, might be considered a special target of information campaigns and measures to encourage anti-COVID behaviors and vaccination. The family plays a central role in shaping health behaviors of its members through social control and support mechanisms. We investigate whether and to what extent close kin (i.e., partner and children) matter for older people in taking on precautionary behaviors (e.g., wearing a mask) and vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. Drawing on data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), we combine its Corona Surveys (June to September 2020 and June to August 2021) with pre-COVID information (October 2019 to March 2020). We find that having close kin (especially a partner) is associated with a higher probability of both adopting precautionary behaviors and accepting a COVID-19 vaccine. Results are robust to controlling for other potential drivers of precautionary behaviors and vaccine acceptance and to accounting for coresidence with kin. Our findings suggest that policymakers and practitioners may differently address kinless individuals when promoting public policy measures.
