To better understand differences among parents in their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors regarding childhood immunizations and health-related issues.
Forty-four survey variables assessing attitudes and beliefs about immunizations and health were analyzed. The K-means clusters technique was used to identify homogeneous groups of parents based upon their responses to the questions.
Five clusters were identified: Immunization Advocates (33.0%), Go Along to Get Alongs (26.4%), Health Advocates (24.8%), Fencesitters (13.2%), and Worrieds (2.6%).
Although only a small percentage of parents are seriously concerned, other parents who are generally supportive of immunizations for their child are also affected by immunization safety issues.
更好地了解父母在儿童免疫接种及健康相关问题上的态度、信念和行为差异。
分析了44个评估对免疫接种和健康态度及信念的调查变量。采用K均值聚类技术,根据父母对问题的回答来识别同类群体。
识别出五个类别:免疫接种倡导者(33.0%);随波逐流者(26.4%);健康倡导者(24.8%);中立者(13.2%);担忧者(2.6%)。
虽然只有一小部分父母严重担忧,但其他总体上支持为孩子进行免疫接种的父母也受到免疫接种安全问题的影响。
