论文摘要
目的:该研究的目的是研究COVID-19-19疫苗接种的社交媒体情绪与美国疫苗接种率的影响(美国),以及对Covid-19-19疫苗犹豫的其他因素。 方法:本研究中使用的数据集包括与疫苗相关的英语推文,从2021年1月4日至5月11日,在美国范围内实时收集,以及健康素养(HL),社会脆弱性指数(SVI)和州一级的疫苗接种率。 结果:这项研究中提出的发现表明,推文的情感与美国的疫苗接种率之间存在显着相关性。结果还表明HL和SVI之间存在显着的负相关性,并且国家人口统计与HL和SVI均相关。 讨论:社交媒体活动为公众舆论提供了有关疫苗接种的见解,并有助于确定所需的公共卫生干预措施,以提高美国的疫苗接种率。 结论:作为疫苗接种运动的一部分,需要在公共卫生干预措施中考虑健康素养,社会脆弱性指数和社交媒体情绪的监测。
Objective: The aims of the study were to examine the association between social media sentiments surrounding COVID-19 vaccination and the effects on vaccination rates in the United States (US), as well as other contributing factors to the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Method: The dataset used in this study consists of vaccine-related English tweets collected in real-time from January 4 - May 11, 2021, posted within the US, as well as health literacy (HL), social vulnerability index (SVI), and vaccination rates at the state level. Results: The findings presented in this study demonstrate a significant correlation between the sentiments of the tweets and the vaccination rate in the US. The results also suggest a significant negative association between HL and SVI and that the state demographics correlate with both HL and SVI. Discussion: Social media activity provides insights into public opinion about vaccinations and helps determine the required public health interventions to increase the vaccination rate in the US. Conclusion: Health literacy, social vulnerability index and monitoring of social media sentiments need to be considered in public health interventions as part of vaccination campaigns.
