论文摘要
疫苗接种代表了一项主要的公共卫生干预措施，旨在防止19009年的感染和住院治疗。但是，由于错误信息/虚假信息，尤其是在少数民族群体中，疫苗犹豫不决，对这种干预的有效性产生了负面影响。该研究的目的是提供了解如何使用社交媒体收集的信息来提高对疫苗接种的态度并减少疫苗犹豫的态度。这项工作的重点是西班牙语帖子，并将强调德克萨斯州不同县的疫苗接种率与Facebook数据的情感和情感内容之间的关系，这是西班牙裔人口中最受欢迎的平台。对这个有价值的数据集的分析表明，该少数群体之间的疫苗接种率与负面情绪和恐惧呈负相关，这意味着负面和恐惧帖子的较高患病率显示这些县的疫苗接种率较低。这项研究在西班牙裔人群中调查疫苗犹豫的第一项研究表明，社交媒体聆听可能是衡量公共卫生干预态度的宝贵工具。
Vaccination represents a major public health intervention intended to protect against COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations. However, vaccine hesitancy due to misinformation/disinformation, especially among ethnic minority groups, negatively impacts the effectiveness of such an intervention. The aim of the study is to provide an understanding of how information gleaned from social media can be used to improve attitudes towards vaccination and decrease vaccine hesitancy. This work focused on Spanish-language posts and will highlight the relationship between vaccination rates across different Texas counties and the sentiment and emotional content of Facebook data, the most popular platform among the Hispanic population. The analysis of this valuable dataset indicates that vaccination rates among this minority group are negatively correlated with negative sentiment and fear, meaning that the higher prevalence of negative and fearful posts reveals lower vaccination rates in these counties. This first study investigating vaccine hesitancy in the Hispanic population suggests that social media listening can be a valuable tool for measuring attitudes toward public health interventions.
