Background: This scoping review aims to map the quantitative literature investigating vaccine-related individual and contextual determinants of COVID-19 vaccination uptake, identify and define constructs assessed, and describe the characteristics of self-report measures.
Methods: A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted to capture peer-reviewed journal articles published between December 31, 2019, and December 25, 2021. Studies conducted in English and collecting data from general population samples using self-report measures of vaccine-related determinants of COVID-19 vaccination behavior were eligible.
Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a widespread health issue, and guidelines recommend weight loss for patients with AF who are also obese, yet few cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs focus on this need.
- This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to assess whether a "Small Changes" behavioral weight loss treatment (BWLT) alongside CR can help patients with AF and obesity achieve at least 10% weight loss and improve related health outcomes.
- Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving CR plus BWLT and the other receiving CR only, with assessments for weight and AF symptoms conducted at multiple points over a year to evaluate the treatment's effectiveness.
