Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Strengths and limitations: The main strength of this study is that we addressed deficiencies in previous research by using more inclusive recruitment and data collection methods to increase opportunity for participation. This included providing translated versions of the survey, using interpreters, and multiple recruitment methods (including through social media, community events, and through community networks). We also included several variables related to culture and language (e.g. English language proficiency, literacy in own language, and years living in Australia), and focused on 10 specific language groups, in an attempt to provide a more nuanced description of the sample that captures some of the complexity and diversity within these communities. Whilst this inevitably means that not all cultural and language groups are represented in the survey, we hope that that by focusing on 10 groups with different access to translated materials, English language skills and proficiency in language spoken at home, that the findings have practical value and can inform decision-making to develop tailored supports and resources that serve these communities. This study also did not ask participants if they had already received the vaccine. State-wide estimates suggest fewer than 25 per 100 NSW population had received a single dose of the vaccine at the time recruitment closed(covid19data.com.au, 2021). Lastly, we were unable to incorporate specific items about the Astrazeneca vaccine ...

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Strengths and limitations: This study is strengthened by recruitment methods that are inclusive and reduce barriers to participation, such as translated versions of the survey, use of interpreters, and use of multiple recruitment methods (including through social media, community events, and through community networks). Further, by including several variables related to culture and language (e.g. English language proficiency, literacy in own language, and years living in Australia), and focusing on 10 specific language groups (more detail provided in our community summaries) (Appendix 3), this study provides a more nuanced understanding of the sample, providing more practical avenues of action to support these communities. This is in stark contrast to many studies which are only able to provide data on e.g. language spoke at home or years living in Australia, including our own previous work (McCaffery et al., 2020). Further work could explore experiences within a single language or culture to provide even more specific practical avenues of action. The limitations of the study are that recruitment for some language groups was lower than anticipated (n<50). For these language groups, estimates may be less reliable. In addition, using a relatively simple knowledge measure, we observed high levels of knowledge and self-reported COVID-19 prevention behaviors, and this may have limited our ability to identify important predictors of these outcomes. Future work could consider more d...
