Note. Table presents vaccination rates and describes corresponding logistic model estimates for three models. Model A describes the overall effect of message frame treatment on vaccination. Model B describes the interaction between objective risk and treatment, whereas Model C describes the interaction between subjective risk and treatment. Adjusted estimates include two covariates: doctor’s recommendation and reading of the pamphlet. Unadjusted estimates provide consistent results. Robust SE. p < 0.05 in bold
