Educating Before Vaccinating
Increasing Vaccine Confidence
February 2022
The media, governmental officials, and others have labeled Black Americans as vaccine-hesitant. As psychologists, we are well aware of the importance of language, how it is internalized, the ways in which it stigmatizes and can hamper effective decision-making, even in the face of compelling data and educational efforts. Addressing realistic concerns through knowledge of how cultural, generational, economic and community networks influence health decisions is key in COVID-19 behavioral changes.
