“…11,[18][19][20] PWUD may also be more open to receiving the COVID-19 vaccine if a tailored vaccine strategy includes community outreach with the use of mobile vaccination vans that support access to needed community specific services and resources (eg, accommodations, food, foot and wound first aid and care) 16,17 instead of attention-grabbing promotions (eg, offering guns, alcohol, or marijuana) that fail to address felt needs. 33 Limitations of our study should be noted. We recruited participants through harm reduction agencies and peer services programs so our findings may not be generalizable to PWUD who infrequently access these services.…”

ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to examine COVID-19 vaccination acceptance and explore reasons for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among people who use drugs (PWUDs), a population with increased COVID-19 transmission and morbidity.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with PWUDs in 7 Oregon counties from May 11 to June 25, 2021. Participants (n = 34) were recruited in partnership with syringe service programs and local community organizations staff, participant-referrals, and flyer advertising. Research staff conducted interviews via telephone to assess participants’ acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine, find knowledge gaps where new educational information about vaccination would be helpful, and identify who would be perceived as a trustworthy source of information. Interviews were transcribed and coded using thematic analysis with a deductive approach.ResultsMost participants had not received the COVID-19 vaccine and were not planning on or were unsure about receiving it. Participants were mistrustful of the rapid COVID-19 vaccine development process, the agencies involved in the development, and vaccines in general. Participants shared varied and contrasting responses about who they would trust to provide information about the COVID-19 vaccine, including peer recovery support specialists, doctors, or other health care professionals, and specified federal agencies or media outlets.ConclusionsAs addiction medicine and public health staff continue to respond to the evolving impacts of COVID-19, vaccination planning should be tailored to the unique needs of PWUD to increase COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in this high-risk population.

“…It is possible that paying people for COVID-19 vaccinations may trigger suspicion and crowd out people's intrinsic motivation, leading to a decrease in vaccination uptake. Cash incentives can also be exploitive and manipulative, making them morally dubious (Tinari & Riva, 2021). Due to the unbalanced sample size and different types of outcomes used, our findings are at best suggestive.…”

Objective: Although mass vaccination is critical for curbing the spread of COVID-19 and saving lives, vaccine rates remain suboptimal in most countries, calling for effective behavioral interventions to promote vaccinations. Nonfinancial behavioral interventions and monetary incentives are commonly used to promote COVID-19 vaccination but their effects are mixed. Method: Articles were searched in the Web of Science, PubMed, and PsycINFO databases. Previous review papers, Google Scholar search, references from the included articles, and unpublished databases were also searched for any other relevant articles. Results: Drawing on 71 studies comprising 1,132,533 participants and 233 effect sizes, we found that the overall behavioral interventions (including nonfinancial interventions and monetary incentives) have a small but statistically significant effect size of Cohen's d = 0.20, 95% confidence interval [0.08, 0.31]. Different types of single interventions and combined strategies produce similar effects. Effect sizes were not moderated by early/late implementation time points, except that collective benefit-oriented interventions showed a marginally significant downward trend as COVID-19 evolves. The effect size of nonfinancial interventions did not significantly differ from monetary incentives. Conclusions: Our findings affirm the value of nonfinancial strategies and may help forecast the effectiveness of future interventions for ever-evolving pandemics.

“…The question of how to motivate citizens who hesitate to get vaccinated or even experience resistance against vaccines is not only intriguing, but also of prime importance in the context of any pandemic. As vaccines against COVID-19 became widely available, countries across the world have adopted various strategies for implementing population-wide vaccination (Tinari & Riva, 2021). The World Health Organization called to invest in the training of general practitioners' motivating skills as they are trustworthy sources to address citizens' concerns and questions (e.g., World Health Organization [WHO], 2021).…”

This vignette-based study examined in a sample of unvaccinated Belgian citizens (N = 1918; M age = 45.99) how health care workers could foster reflection about and intentions to get vaccinated against COVID-19 by experimentally varying their communication style (i.e., autonomy-supportive vs. controlling) and the reference to external motivators (i.e., use of a monetary voucher or corona pass vs. the lack thereof). Each participant was randomly assigned to one of six conditions and rated a vignette in terms of anticipated autonomy satisfaction, perceived effectiveness, reflection, and vaccination intention. An autonomysupportive, relative to a controlling, communication style predicted greater autonomy need satisfaction, which in turn related positively to perceived effectiveness, reflection, and vaccination intention. External motivators failed to generate positive effects compared to the control condition. The findings highlight the critical role of autonomy support in promoting a self-endorsed decision to get vaccinated.
