Perspectives of stakeholders on barriers to COVID-19 protective behaviors adherence and vaccination among Myanmar migrant workers in southern Thailand: A qualitative study.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Studies have been conducted on migrant health during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in-depth information is scarce regarding the barriers to preventing COVID-19 in this vulnerable population. The objective of the study is to explore the barriers to COVID-19 protective behaviors adherence and vaccination among Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand. We conducted an interview-based qualitative study among 7 migrants from Myanmar, 6 Thai employers, and 9 Thai healthcare providers in the cities of Hat Yai and Pattani in Southern Thailand. We recruited participants by purposive sampling. We conducted in-depth interviews in-person or via telephone in Thai or Burmese language, transcribed the interview, and conducted thematic analysis. Regarding adherence to COVID-19 protective behaviors, two themes emerged: lifestyle and habit-related barriers, and non-vaccine supply chain management barriers. Regarding COVID-19 vaccination, three common themes emerged: fear, barriers related to health education and health promotion, and vaccine supply chain management. Supply chain management was a common theme in both domains. However, each domain also had additional themes. Our study contributed empirical findings that could be of interest to stakeholders in migrant health. However, limitations regarding the generalizability of the findings and social desirability should be considered in the interpretation of the findings.
