Table 4 Longitudinal multiple linear regression examining the relationship between conservative and diversity of media consumption in spring 2022 predicting vaccination behaviors (N = 909), controlling for 2020 diversity of media consumption, conservative media consumption, and vaccination intentions. All continuous predictors are standardized. Media consumption calculations include 20 total media outlets in 2022 and 15 in 2020. 1|2 indicates the odds of being unvaccinated compared to vaccinated or vaccinated and boosted. 2|3 indicates the odds of being vaccinated and boosted compared to unvaccinated or only vaccinated.

From: Ideological diversity of media consumption predicts COVID-19 vaccination

Outcome: Vaccination Behavior
