Willingness to adopt preventive measures among international travellers attending a vaccination centre during COVID-19: A cross-sectional study.
Observational study in Atencion primaria, 2026. 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
objectiveTo analyse international travellers' willingness to adopt preventive health measures after the reopening of international travel following the COVID-19 pandemic, and to examine whether these intentions were aligned with expert priorities and equitably distributed across socio-demographic groups.
designCross-sectional observational study. SITE: International Vaccination Centre of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Spain).
participantsA total of 330 adult travellers attending pre-travel consultations between May and December 2021 (73% of all eligible travellers).
interventionsNone. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: A structured questionnaire assessed travellers' willingness to adopt preventive measures during travel. Adoption rates were compared with relevance ratings provided by a panel of 32 public health experts. Logistic regression models examined associations between preventive intentions and socio-demographic characteristics.
resultsHigh levels of intended adoption were observed for several preventive measures, including frequent handwashing (92%; odds 12.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 8.1-18.3), mask use in enclosed spaces (88%; odds 7.5, 95% CI 5.3-10.4), and seeking health information about the destination (78%; odds 3.5, 95% CI 2.7-4.6). The alignment between travellers' intentions and expert priorities was strong (Pearson correlation >0.9). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed limited socio-demographic differences in preventive intentions, with education level and occupational class not significantly associated with the willingness to adopt most preventive measures.
conclusionsTravellers reported a high willingness to adopt preventive measures after the reopening of international travel following COVID-19. Preventive intentions were strongly aligned with expert recommendations and showed minimal socio-demographic variation. These findings suggest that large-scale public health communication during the pandemic may have reached diverse traveller groups and promoted broadly equitable preventive intentions.
