Healthcare decisions, including decisions to vaccinate, are an amalgamation of complex cultural, social, and psychological interactions, including perceptions of risk, trust in healthcare, locally relevant norms of behavior, and social learning. Understanding both the drivers of vaccine decision making is crucial to alleviating the burden of disease and increasing vaccine uptake. In particular, more work is needed from underserved communities, which tend to have disproportionate vulnerabilities and disease burden. In addition to potential impacts on public health and public policy, this study facilitates training of a diverse group of graduate and undergraduate students, including groups typically underrepresented in STEM research.This study takes a multi-modal approach to studying health care decision-making, particularly around the acceptance and uptake of vaccines. The team examines: (1) how local models of illness shape vaccination practice, (2) how individual-level factors, including medical mistrust, shape perceptions and use of the healthcare system, (3) how sociodemographic factors shape vaccine beliefs, and (4) how social learning influences individual vaccination decisions. To do this the team uses a mix of interviews, surveys and focus groups, along with innovative vignette studies designed specifically for this study. This multi-layered approach to understanding vaccination is rare in health sciences, and should highlight the value of an anthropological approach to the study of vaccination.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

医疗保健决策，包括接种疫苗的决策，是复杂的文化，社会和心理相互作用的融合，包括对风险的看法，对医疗保健的信任，当地相关的行为规范和社会学习。了解疫苗决策的驱动因素对于减轻疾病负担和增加疫苗接种至关重要。特别是，服务不足的社区需要做更多的工作，这些社区往往有不成比例的脆弱性和疾病负担。除了对公共卫生和公共政策的潜在影响外，这项研究还促进了对研究生和本科生的多样化群体的培训，包括STEM研究中通常代表性不足的群体。这项研究采用多模式方法来研究医疗保健决策，特别是围绕疫苗的接受和摄取。该小组审查：（1）当地疾病模型如何塑造疫苗接种实践，（2）个人层面的因素，包括医疗不信任，如何塑造对医疗保健系统的认知和使用，（3）社会人口因素如何塑造疫苗信念，以及（4）社会学习如何影响个人疫苗接种决策。为了做到这一点，该团队使用了访谈，调查和焦点小组的组合，沿着创新的小插曲研究专为这项研究设计。 这种理解疫苗接种的多层次方法在健康科学中是罕见的，应该突出人类学方法对疫苗接种研究的价值。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
