Teachers' demographics, mindfulness skills, and anxiety predict COVID-19 vaccination status.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundGiven that maintaining the health of teachers and students is of the utmost importance, this study explored potential predictors of U.S. teachers' decision to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, an evidence-based public health measure. The present study explored whether teachers' demographics (i.e., gender, race, age, and grade taught), personal characteristics (i.e., awareness and nonjudgmental orientation as components of mindfulness, and anxiety), and state characteristics (i.e., gubernatorial party) were associated with their decision to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
methodFive hundred sixteen Kindergarten-12th grade teachers from across the U.S. participated in April 2022.
resultsResults from stepwise generalized linear mixed effects models indicated that teachers who were women (vs. men), White (vs. teachers of color), and younger (vs. older) were less likely to be vaccinated. Awareness skills were associated with greater odds of vaccination, whereas a nonjudgmental orientation and anxiety were associated with reduced odds of vaccination.
conclusionsThis study provides insight into demographic, personal, and state-level influences associated with teachers' decision to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Findings highlight the importance of targeted efforts to increase adherence to public health guidelines so that schools can reopen swiftly and safely in future public health crises.
