This study was based on a (population weighted) sample of some 4533 responses to a household survey conducted in March 2021 that looked at the impact of COVID-19 on residents in most of the local authorities covering the North East of England. It considered the outcomes relating to needing a COVID test, self-isolating, whether residents agreed that UK government and NHS-approved vaccines were 'very safe', and whether they had enough information in order to make an informed decision about whether or not to get vaccinated. Modelling these outcomes using multivariate regression produced a range of results that showed that all of the following were important: the impact of age, living in deprived areas, ethnicity, religious affiliation, disability, industry, occupation, economic status, changes in household income, sexual orientation, and household composition. Thus, the results showed that there are complex socioeconomic factors associated with the willingness to get a test, self-isolate, and the levels of vaccine hesitancy, such that, in future ensuring that (re-)vaccination and 'track and trace' programmes are successful, may need to be better nuanced by references to such factors rather than adopting programmes that mostly just rely on age as the criteria for roll-outs.
本研究基于2021年3月进行的一项家庭调查的（人口加权）样本，该样本包含约4533份回复，调查着眼于新冠疫情对覆盖英格兰东北部大部分地方当局居民的影响。研究考虑了与需要进行新冠检测、自我隔离、居民是否认同英国政府和英国国民医疗服务体系（NHS）批准的疫苗“非常安全”，以及他们是否拥有足够信息以便就是否接种疫苗做出明智决定相关的结果。使用多元回归对这些结果进行建模得出了一系列结果，表明以下所有因素都很重要：年龄、居住在贫困地区、种族、宗教信仰、残疾、行业、职业、经济状况、家庭收入变化、性取向和家庭构成。因此，结果表明，存在与进行检测、自我隔离的意愿以及疫苗犹豫程度相关的复杂社会经济因素，以至于在未来，要确保（重新）接种疫苗和“追踪与溯源”计划取得成功，可能需要通过参考这些因素进行更细致入微的调整，而不是采用主要仅依靠年龄作为推广标准的计划。
