NOTE: Missing data not included in statistical analyses. * In the analysis, outcome is “hesitant to get vaccinated”. These factors that were significantly associated with vaccine hesitancy in univariate logistic regression analysis (95% CI does not contain 1.0), were included into final multivariable logistic regression. Individuals categorized as having depression or anxiety met the criteria for caseness (T-score > 60) on the PROMIS 4-item short-form depression and anxiety measures.
