只有目标人群同意卫生当局的建议，预防流行病传播的疫苗接种运动才能取得成功。然而，由于强制接种疫苗在现代民主国家几乎是不可想象的，政府需要通过有效和有说服力的信息运动来说服民众。在2009年猪源甲型H1N1流感大流行的背景下，我们在法国南部的普通公众中进行了一项有175名参与者的互动研究，以探索哪些类型的信息可以在总体和个人层面上引起疫苗接种意向的变化。我们发现，个人对接种疫苗的态度是基于对情况的理性评估，只有纯粹科学性质的信息才能对接种意愿产生显著的积极影响。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Vaccination campaigns to prevent the spread of epidemics are successful only if the targeted populations subscribe to the recommendations of health authorities. However, because compulsory vaccination is hardly conceivable in modern democracies, governments need to convince their populations through efficient and persuasive information campaigns. In the context of the swine-origin A (H1N1) 2009 pandemic, we use an interactive study among the general public in the South of France, with 175 participants, to explore what type of information can induce change in vaccination intentions at both aggregate and individual levels. We find that individual attitudes to vaccination are based on rational appraisal of the situation, and that it is information of a purely scientific nature that has the only significant positive effect on intention to vaccinate.
