Abstract

BACKGROUND

Influenza vaccination is the most effective method to avoid influenza virus infection and its potential serious complications; however, influenza vaccine is underutilized especially among minority groups.

OBJECTIVES

We assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding influenza prevention and control measures among Hispanics in San Diego County.

METHODS

We used a multistage cluster sampling scheme to administer an in-person, door-to-door KAP survey to 226 Hispanics aged > or = 18 years in three regions of San Diego County during July-August 2006.

RESULTS

Hispanics in the three regions sampled for this survey varied widely by age, country of birth, years living in the United States, number of border crossings in previous month, and number of people in household. Awareness of the influenza vaccine was nearly 90% among survey respondents. The percentage of Hispanic males and females aged 50-64 years who received an influenza vaccination in the previous 12 months was 7.7% and 23.5%, respectively, and the percentage of Hispanic males and females aged > or = 65 years who received an influenza vaccination in the previous 12 months was 33.3% and 59.1%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

This survey showed high awareness of the influenza vaccine among Hispanics in San Diego County but relatively low vaccination rates among respondents aged > or = 50 years, a group targeted for influenza vaccination. Differences in awareness and vaccination rates between Hispanic males and females across all age groups indicate that educational outreach efforts should specifically target Hispanic men.

摘要

背景

流感疫苗接种是预防流感病毒感染及其潜在严重并发症的最有效方法；然而，流感疫苗的接种率尤其在少数族裔中较低。

目的

我们评估了圣地亚哥县西班牙裔人群对流感预防和控制措施的知识、态度和实践（KAP）。

方法

我们采用多阶段聚类抽样方案，于 2006 年 7 月至 8 月期间，在圣地亚哥县的三个地区对 226 名年龄≥18 岁的西班牙裔人群进行了入户面对面的 KAP 调查。

结果

参与这项调查的圣地亚哥县三个地区的西班牙裔人群在年龄、出生国、在美国居住的年数、前一个月的过境次数和家庭人口数方面差异很大。调查对象对流感疫苗的知晓率接近 90%。在过去 12 个月内，50-64 岁的男性和女性西班牙裔人群中接种流感疫苗的比例分别为 7.7%和 23.5%，≥65 岁的男性和女性西班牙裔人群中接种流感疫苗的比例分别为 33.3%和 59.1%。
