Co-design and implement a COVID-19 vaccine uptake intervention within Chinese communities in England

本研究响应英国政府紧急情况科学咨询小组（SAGE）（2020 a）的呼吁，通过调查中国社区疫苗接种犹豫的复杂和多层次因素和决定因素，以及接种疫苗的障碍和促进因素。通过焦点小组（最多16个小组）、访谈（最多20个）和调查（最多1,000个），与华人社区成员和社区工作者一起，本研究将通过探索社区的理解、态度、风险认知、信任、信息来源、障碍、促进者和关注点来解决知识差距。本研究的主要目的是利用上述经验数据为沟通干预的共同设计/开发和实施/评估提供信息，以促进华人社区对COVID-19疫苗的接受。然后，该研究将探索在英国其他有大量中国人口的城市扩大其影响的机会。它还将探讨与黑人和少数民族（BME）健康中心合作，将本研究开发的资源用于其他民族社区的可能性，该中心与黑人，亚洲人，少数民族（BAME）社区建立了良好的联系。核心数字资源（应用程序代码、数据库）和内容（电台广告歌、动画故事板、传单）将作为模板制作，并公开提供，供其他族裔社区组织进行文化适应。该项目将为社区组织，NHS临床委员会小组（CCG）和政策制定者（例如Sage种族小组）提供建议，指导和最佳实践报告以及标准学术出版物。

This study addresses the call of the UK Government Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) (2020a) by investigating complex and multi-layered factors and determinants of Chinese communities' vaccine hesitancy, as well as the barriers and facilitators of vaccination uptake. Through focus groups (up to 16 groups), interviews (up to 20) and surveys (up to 1,000) with members of the Chinese communities and community workers, this study will address gaps in knowledge by exploring the understanding, attitude, risk perceptions, trust, source of information, barriers, facilitators, and concerns of the communities. The central aim of the study is to use the above empirical data to inform the co-design/development and implementation/evaluation of a communicative intervention to promote the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines with the Chinese communities. The study will then explore the opportunities to scale up its impact in other cities in England where there are large Chinese populations. It will also explore the possibility of adapting the resources developed from this study for other ethnic communities in collaboration with the Centre for Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) Health which has well-established connections with Black, Asian, Ethnic Minorities (BAME) communities. Core digital resources (app codes, databases) and content (radio jingle, animation story board, leaflets) will be produced as templates and made publicly available for cultural adaptation for other ethnic community organisations. The project will produce reports with advice, guidance and best practices for community organisations, the NHS Clinical Commission Groups (CCGs) and policy makers (e.g. Sage ethnicity subgroup) and a standard scholarly publication.
