Table 1 Matrix showing the relationship between trust in each specific entity and the five measures related to vaccine hesitancy, as quantified by the Eta Correlation Ratio. A post-hoc examination of the net change in means across the trust categories was conducted for each variable pair, with relationships classified as either 'Increasing' or 'Decreasing', based on whether the mean of the predictor variable was higher for the last category of the trust variable than for the first. This allowed us to ascertain the direction of the effect which was Negative for all 75 pairs
