How Information Exposure Shapes Risk Perceptions and Vaccination Intentions Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Positive mpox-related information strongly promotes vaccination intent by enhancing perceived control and amplifying perceived risk, particularly in settings with accessible vaccination programs such as Hong Kong. Conversely, negative information appears less effective in driving vaccination intention. Tailored, stigma-free communication is crucial for improving vaccination uptake, especially in mainland China, where subsidized vaccines are scarce and perceptual pathways linking information exposure to vaccination intent are relatively weak. Enhancing access to vaccines and addressing contextual barriers can further optimize the impact of such interventions.

Abstract

Positive mpox-related information strongly promotes vaccination intent by enhancing perceived control and amplifying perceived risk, particularly in settings with accessible vaccination programs such as Hong Kong. Conversely, negative information appears less effective in driving vaccination intention. Tailored, stigma-free communication is crucial for improving vaccination uptake, especially in mainland China, where subsidized vaccines are scarce and perceptual pathways linking information exposure to vaccination intent are relatively weak. Enhancing access to vaccines and addressing contextual barriers can further optimize the impact of such interventions.
