Barriers and enablers to influenza vaccination uptake in adults with chronic respiratory conditions: applying the behaviour change wheel to specify multi-levelled tailored intervention content

Allyson J. Gallant et al.

Summary: This study aimed to enhance influenza vaccination uptake among adults with chronic respiratory conditions by using the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) to specify intervention content. The study identified barriers and enablers to vaccination through focus groups, interviews, and surveys. Factors such as perceptions of vaccine side effects, time constraints, and fear of needles were found to be common barriers, while enablers included protection from influenza, reminders, and support from others. Based on the findings, the study proposed a suite of multi-level intervention components involving diverse actors, recipients, and settings to enhance vaccination uptake.
