The network of health: How autonomy-supportive relationships influence linguistic barriers and vaccine hesitancy among English-speaking minorities in Québec

Objectives: The proposed three-wave prospective, retrospective, longitudinal research will examine linguistic and motivational factors that may influence vaccine hesitancy in English- and French-speaking visible and non-visible minorities living in Québec. Following a Self-determination theory framework, the main aim will be to examine whether autonomy support from social networks (comparing family and peers) interacts with motivational and linguistic barriers, and how this, in turn, interacts with vaccine hesitancy. Exploratory aims will examine and compare the variables of interest among the different groups.
