Factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine uptake among vulnerable communities in Texas: Perceptions of 2-1-1 helpline callers.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundVaccination effectively and safely prevents serious illness from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study examines the complex factors associated with vaccination uptake among economically disadvantaged adults calling the Texas/United Way 2-1-1 helpline. Results informed the development of strategies to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake among vulnerable populations disproportionately impacted by COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey among 2-1-1 adult callers (May 2021-September 2022). The survey examined demographic, sociocultural, healthcare access, and psychosocial factors, as well as mistrust in health agencies. We used multivariable logistic regression models to examine factors associated with vaccination uptake, and ordinal regression models to examine factors associated with psychosocial constructs significantly related to vaccination outcomes.
resultsThe majority of respondents were from low-income households, had low education attainment, and were minorities. Among the 509 surveys, 67.2 % of participants reported vaccine uptake. Multivariable logistic regression analyses indicated significantly higher odds of vaccination among adults 50-64 years and 65 years and over (OR: 4.5, 95 % CI: 1.7-11.7 and OR: 7.2, 95 % CI: 1.8-28; P < 0.01). Respondents with higher scores on perceived susceptibility (OR: 1.4, 95 % CI: 1.0-1.8, p = 0.02), perceived safety of the vaccine (OR: 2.9, 95 % CI: 1.9-4.3, p < 0.01) and beliefs about vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 (OR: 1.5, 95 % CI: 1.1-2.0, p = 0.02) and serious illness and hospitalization (OR: 1.4, 95 %: 1.0-1.8, p = 0.02) were significantly more likely to have received a vaccination.
conclusionsOur results indicate that among the sample of economically vulnerable 2-1-1 callers from primarily underserved minority groups, perceived vaccine safety and effectiveness (against COVID-19, serious illness, and hospitalization), and perceived susceptibility to COVID-19 are important factors associated with vaccine uptake. These findings underscore the importance of designing interventions to increase vaccination that address these constructs with powerful messages and strategies.
