Using Behavioral Theory to Understand the Red/Blue Divide in COVID-19 Vaccination Intentions|ARC IPC

This webinar is co-sponsored by the Alabama Regional Center for Infection Prevention and Control, the Region IV Public Health Training Center, and the UAB Office of Public Health Practice. Political partisanship is an important predictor of COVID-19 vaccination status. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Republicans were less likely to report being vaccinated than Democrats. This webinar will discuss the results from research testing the hypothesis that partisan differences in intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine can be explained by a commonly used theory of behavioral health intentions, Protection Motivation Theory.
