根据疾病控制和预防中心2016年的数据，美国18岁以上成年人的流感疫苗接种率仍然很低，为41%。接种率低的原因各不相同，包括风险认知、疫苗犹豫和获得医疗保健等因素。这项横断面研究旨在研究18岁以上白色和非洲裔美国人样本中社交媒体使用与流感疫苗接种之间的关系。使用双变量，未经调整和调整的logistic回归检验，该研究检查了2015年社交媒体使用，社交媒体作为健康信息来源和流感疫苗接种状况之间的关系。我们的研究结果表明，与不使用Twitter或Facebook作为健康信息来源的用户相比，Twitter（OR 4.41，95%CI：1.43-13.60）和Facebook（OR 1.66，95%CI：1.01-2.72）作为健康信息来源的用户更有可能接种疫苗。这些发现对利用社交媒体平台传播流感疫苗信息并鼓励用户每年接种疫苗的潜力具有影响。(C)2018爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Influenza vaccination rates in the U.S. remain low at 41% among adults over 18 years according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2016 data. Reasons for the low rate vary and include factors such as risk perception, vaccine hesitancy, and access to health care. This cross-sectional study sought to examine the relationship between social media use and influenza vaccine uptake among a sample of White and African Americans over 18 years of age. Using bivariate, and unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression tests, this study examined the relationship among social media use, social media as a source of health information, and influenza vaccination status in 2015. Our results indicate that users of Twitter (OR4.41, 95%CI: 1.43-13.60) and Facebook (OR 1.66, 95%CI: 1.01-2.72) as sources of health information were more likely to be vaccinated in comparison to users who do not use Twitter or Facebook as a source of health information. These findings have implications for the potential of using social media platforms to disseminate influenza vaccine information and encourage users to get vaccinated annually. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
