Abstract

We aimed to determine the effect of a brief educational intervention on COVID-19 vaccine knowledge, beliefs, and vaccination intention in Black and Hispanic communities in Houston, Texas. As part of the Community Engagement Alliance (CEAL) Against COVID-19 Disparities study (2020–2022), 1606 Black and Hispanic adults completed Web-based surveys before and after viewing COVID-19 educational materials. The intervention significantly improved health beliefs and vaccination intention. Disseminating short and ethnically appropriate educational materials is an effective strategy to decrease vaccine hesitancy in minority populations.
