The complexities of 'trust' in the context of COVID-19 vaccination choices among Black women in Alameda County, CA.
Article in Critical 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
Many academic and media conversations about COVID-19 vaccination center on lower uptake among racially minoritized individuals due to what is characterized as 'mistrust.' In 'Is trust enough? Anti-Black racism and the perception of Black vaccine hesitancy,' Wilson argues that questioning Black people's trust in the COVID-19 vaccine fails to 'understand Black people as rational, complex beings who are fit to make reasonable decisions guided by complex factors.' In this study, we explore what shapes Black women's COVID-19 vaccination choices using data from 20 qualitative interviews conducted March-April 2022 with a sample of predominantly Black women in Alameda County, CA. Findings provide empirical evidence to support Wilson's argument that a narrow view of 'trust' over-simplifies Black women's comprehensive thinking about health decisions. Participants triangulated COVID-19 information sources and vetted this material with specific consideration of factors highly relevant to Black women's day-to-day lives: evidence of systemic or interpersonal racism in healthcare settings, management of chronic health conditions, and the importance of family. Many participants indicated that it was common for people in their networks to hold different perspectives on vaccination and they normalized these differences of opinions, expressing understanding of the socio-structural factors affecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination choices.
