Perspectives of Vietnamese Americans Regarding COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance, Trusted Sources of Information, and Pandemic-related Challenges.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. 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
backgroundDue to limited research on Asian Americans and COVID-19, we investigated the perspectives of Vietnamese Americans regarding COVID-19 vaccine acceptance, trusted sources of information, and pandemic-related challenges.
methodsVietnamese American adult residents in Texas were recruited between September 2021 through March 2022 to complete the NIH CEAL Common Survey 2 electronically in English or Vietnamese, which contains 23 questions about social determinants of health, information, trust, risk perception, testing and disease control, COVID-19 vaccination, and demographics. We analyzed data using bivariate logistic or linear regression models.
resultsOf the 224 completed responses, 181 participants were vaccinated (80.8%), 20 (8.9%) were partially (one of two-dose courses) vaccinated, and nine (4%) were unvaccinated. Of the unvaccinated individuals, 44.4% reported that getting vaccinated in the next 3 months was "not likely at all," and the top barriers included safety concerns (77.8%), side effects (66.7%), and vaccine efficacy (44.4%). Vietnamese-language responders had significantly higher odds of experiencing non-medical challenges in obtaining food (OR = 2.08, p = 0.020) and transportation (OR = 2.56, p = 0.008) than English-language responders. Older age was significantly associated with reporting non-medical challenges in obtaining food (β = 8.39, p < 0.001), water (β = 9.58, p < 0.05), medications (β = 6.43, p < 0.05), and transportation (β = 5.69, p < 0.05).
conclusionOur findings describe barriers to vaccine acceptance and reveal variance in the prevalence of non-medical challenges among Vietnamese-language participants. It also showed within-group variation in COVID-19 vaccine attitudes and trusted sources of information among Vietnamese Americans. Research with disaggregated data can guide strategies to address non-medical health disparities in diverse communities.
