Abstract
This research investigates Southern British Columbians' concerns, opinions, and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccinations and public health initiatives, and what contributes to these beliefs. In order to combat misinformation and vaccine hesitancy, this project will uncover what information people have, what they do with that information, and how it influences their attitudes towards vaccination. From those insights, these efforts will contribute to revealing the relationships between people's views of personal and public safety, their attitudes towards vaccination, their behaviours during this pandemic, and the daily stressors and mental health needs that might lead them to draw on misinformation or adopt risky behaviours.
