Background: In the post-pandemic era, influenza and COVID-19 jointly exacerbate global public health burdens, yet persistent biases in risk perception drive declining vaccination rates and health disparities. Conventional linear models fail to capture the complex interactions between risk cognition, family protection motivation, and socioeconomic vulnerability-particularly within collectivist contexts like China.Objective: This study employs network analysis to uncover the core structural features of influenza risk perception among the Chinese public, examining the association between science literacy and risk perception to inform targeted mitigation and intervention strategies.
Keywords: Influenza risk perception, Network analysis, family protection motivation, Socioeconomic vulnerability, Science Literacy, public health strategy A multicenter, cross-sectional network analysis study using convenience sampling
