Overview

Cross-sectional survey assesses vaccination literacy levels in Hungarian adults, suggesting factors for improvement.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate vaccination literacy among Hungarian adults and identify its determinants.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional survey with 1205 Hungarian adults from the European Health Literacy Population Survey 2019–2021.
  • Utilized computer-assisted telephone interviews for data collection in December 2020.
  • Measured the instrument’s internal consistency with Cronbach’s alpha and reliability using the Spearman–Brown correlation coefficient.
  • Assessed construct validity through principal component analysis and examined relationships using multivariate ordered logistic regression.
  • The vaccination literacy instrument showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.78) and reliability (Spearman-Brown: 0.725).
  • Principal component analysis identified one significant factor explaining 69% of the total variance in vaccination literacy.
  • The mean vaccination literacy score among Hungarian adults was 82.4 (95% CI 74.9-89.8).
  • Positive correlations were found between vaccination literacy and social support, absence of financial deprivation, and secondary education level.
