Abstract：
Research on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and misinformation endorsement among Spanish-speaking Americans is limited. This cross-sectional study used a Spanish-language survey from May-August 2021 among 483 Spanish speakers living in the US and Puerto Rico. We applied multivariable Poisson regression with robust error variances to assess the association between independent variables and binary outcomes for vaccine acceptance versus hesitance, as well as misinformation endorsement. Vaccine acceptance was associated with COVID-19 risk perception score (PR = 1.7 high vs. low perceived risk), opinion of government transparency (PR = 2.2 very transparent vs. not transparent), and trust in vaccine information (PR = 1.8 high vs. low). There was also an interaction between time spent on social media and social media as a main source of COVID-19 information (p = 0.0484). Misinformation endorsement was associated with opinion about government transparency (PR = 0.5 moderately vs. not transparent), trust in vaccine information (PR = 0.5 high vs. low trust), social media impact on vaccine confidence (PR = 2.1 decreased vs. increased confidence), distrust vaccines (PR = 1.9 distrust vs. trust), using vaccine information from Facebook (PR = 1.4 yes vs. no), and time spent on social media by those using social media as main source of COVID-19 vaccine information (p = 0.0120). Vaccine acceptance in respondents with high misinformation endorsement scores was 0.7 times those with low scores. These findings highlight the importance of effective information dissemination, the positive role of social media, and government transparency in boosting vaccine uptake among Spanish speakers in the US.
摘要：
对讲西班牙语的美国人的COVID-19疫苗犹豫和错误信息认可的研究有限。这项横断面研究使用了2021年5月至8月的西班牙语调查，对居住在美国和波多黎各的483名西班牙语使用者进行了调查。我们应用具有稳健误差方差的多变量泊松回归来评估疫苗接受度与犹豫的自变量与二元结果之间的关联。以及错误信息认可。疫苗接受度与COVID-19风险感知评分相关(PR=1.7高与低感知风险)，政府透明度的意见(PR=2.2非常透明与不透明)，和对疫苗信息的信任(PR=1.8高vs.低)。在社交媒体上花费的时间与作为COVID-19信息的主要来源的社交媒体之间也存在相互作用(p=0.0484)。错误信息认可与关于政府透明度的意见相关(PR=0.5适度与不透明)，对疫苗信息的信任(PR=0.5高与低信任)，社交媒体对疫苗信心的影响(PR=2.1下降与增强信心)，不信任疫苗(PR=1.9不信任vs.trust),使用来自Facebook的疫苗信息(PR=1.4是vs.no),以及使用社交媒体作为COVID-19疫苗信息主要来源的人在社交媒体上花费的时间(p=0.0120)。错误信息认可得分高的受访者的疫苗接受度是得分低的受访者的0.7倍。这些发现突出了有效传播信息的重要性,社交媒体的积极作用，以及政府在提高美国西班牙语使用者疫苗摄入量方面的透明度。
