While the dual behavior of consistent mask wearing and vaccine acceptance represents an effective method of protecting oneself and others from COVID-19, research has yet to directly examine its predictors. A total of 3347 responses from a pooled cross-sectional survey of adults living in Saskatchewan, Canada, were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model. The outcome variable was the combined behavior of mask-wearing and vaccine intention in four combinations, while covariates consisted of socio-demographic factors, risk of exposure to coronavirus, mitigating behaviors, and perceptions of COVID-19. Those who were 65 years and older, financially secure, consistently practiced social distancing and had no or very few contacts with people outside their households, were concerned about spreading the virus, and perceived they would be seriously sick if infected were likely to engage in both mask wearing and vaccine acceptance, rather than one or the other, with adjusted odds ratios ranging from 2.24 to 27.54. Further, within mask wearers, these factors were associated in a graded manner with vaccine intent. By describing the characteristics of those who engage in both mask wearing and vaccine acceptance, these results offer a specific set of characteristics for public health authorities to target and, therefore, contribute to the rapidly evolving body of knowledge on protective factors for COVID-19.
虽然持续佩戴口罩和接受疫苗这两种行为是保护自己和他人免受新冠病毒感染的有效方法,但相关研究尚未直接考察其预测因素。利用多项逻辑回归模型,对加拿大萨斯喀彻温省成年人综合横断面调查的3347份回复进行了分析。结果变量是佩戴口罩和接种疫苗意愿的四种组合的综合行为,而协变量包括社会人口因素、接触冠状病毒的风险、缓解行为以及对新冠病毒的认知。65岁及以上、经济状况稳定、始终保持社交距离且与家庭以外的人接触很少或几乎没有接触、担心传播病毒以及认为自己感染后会重病的人,更有可能既佩戴口罩又接受疫苗接种,而非只采取其中一种行为,调整后的优势比在2.24至27.54之间。此外,在佩戴口罩的人群中,这些因素与接种疫苗的意愿呈分级关联。通过描述同时佩戴口罩和接受疫苗接种者的特征,这些结果为公共卫生当局提供了一组具体的目标特征,从而有助于丰富关于新冠病毒保护因素的快速发展的知识体系。
