{"doi":"10.1016/j.pec.2024.108481","title":"Healthcare provider recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination: Prevalence, disparities, and correlates","abstract":"OBJECTIVE: We assessed healthcare provider recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination, disparities across sociodemographic factors, and associations with health care coverage, social norms, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, and Fox News preference. METHODS: We utilized random sample survey data of Arkansas residents (N = 2201) collected in October 2022 to identify adults with a personal provider who make up the analytical sample of this study (n = 1804). RESULTS: Over a third (37.2 %; n = 607) of the weighted sample did not receive a recommendation. Adjusted odds of receiving a recommendation were positively associated with health care coverage (aOR=1.66; 95 % CI [1.05, 2.64]) and negatively associated with perceiving \"very few\" (aOR=0.48; 95 % CI [0.33, 0.72]) or \"some but not many\" (aOR=0.57; 95 % CI [0.41, 0.80]) rather than \"nearly all\" people close to them to be vaccinated. Adjusted odds of receiving a recommendation were negatively associated with being very hesitant (vs. not at all hesitant) (aOR=0.65; 95 % CI [0.47, 0.88]). CONCLUSION: Provider recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination were not provided for a large portion of Arkansas adults, were inconsistently provided across sociodemographic groups, and were associated with health care coverage, social norms, and vaccine hesitancy. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Intervening on disparities in COVID-19 vaccination may require addressing disparities in provider recommendations.","journal":"Patient Education and Counseling","year":2024,"id":474338,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":1,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.8649,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1125461,"name":"Ji Li","orcid":"0000-0001-6684-9937","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":452649,"name":"James P.
