Determining the intention of receiving the influenza vaccine: a cross-sectional survey among international and domestic college students in the USA.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveVaccination is the most effective strategy for preventing infectious diseases, yet it is underused in young adults. College students are important targets for the influenza vaccine given this population's low vaccination rates; however, limited research has focused on international college students' vaccination status. This study examined the relationships between the theory of planned behaviour (TPB; attitudes, perceived behavioural control (PBC) and subjective norms) and students' intention of receiving an influenza vaccine. DESIGN, SETTING AND
participantsA cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 222 domestic students recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk and 197 international students recruited through the Registrar's Office at a Midwest university.
resultsInternational students had higher levels of PBC, intention and attitudes towards receiving an influenza vaccine compared with domestic students. Being Hispanic (β=-5.33; 95% CI -9.84 to -0.81, p=0.021), up-to-date vaccination status (β=-1.60; 95% CI -2.99 to -0.17, p=0.028) and identifying as smokers (β=-2.94; 95% CI -5.72 to -0.15, p=0.039) significantly lowered college students' intention. Attitudes (international: β=0.14; 95% CI 0.04 to 0.23, p=0.003; domestic: β=0.14; 95% CI 0.07 to 0.22, p<0.001), subjective norms (international: β=0.40; 95% CI 0.29 to 0.51, p<0.001; domestic: β=0.34; 95% CI 0.23 to 0.44 p<0.001), and PBC (international: β=0.09; 95% CI 0.004 to 0.18, p=0.042; domestic: β=0.10; 95% CI 0.01 to 0.19, p=0.019) were significantly associated with both domestic and international students' intention of receiving an influenza vaccine.
conclusionFindings support the TPB's potential utility to enhance domestic and international college students' influenza vaccination rates.
