Table 1.
Characteristics of webinar participants who completed surveys. Three overlapping cohorts of people (238 unique individuals) completed surveys online before or after participating in a webinar on vaccines and coronavirus. A cohort of 205 people completed the pre-webinar survey, 105 people completed both surveys, and a cohort of 138 people completed the post-webinar survey. The characteristics of race, health insurance, and connections to cancer add up to more than 100% because respondents were allowed to choose more than one answer. For other characteristics, the total may not equal 100% because of rounding.
