Purpose Predicting COVID-19 vaccination behavior among U.S. college students using the Health Belief Model (HBM). Design Cross-sectional survey. Setting Online. Sample A convenience sample of students in a public university in the U.S. (N = 411). Measures Demographics; COVID-19 vaccination behavior as outcome variable; HBM variables (perceived threat of COVID-19, perceived individual benefit of vaccination, perceived community benefit of vaccination, perceived vaccine-safety barrier, perceived vaccination-cost barrier [time and effort], self-efficacy), and fear of COVID-19 as proximal predictors; religious beliefs and political beliefs as distal predictors. Questions/items measuring all variables in the survey data collection were taken from relevant and peer-reviewed publications and were modified to reflect the context of COVID-19. Analysis Structural equation modeling (SEM). Results The model fit the data very well (χ2/df = 2.27/5 = .45, p = .810; RMSEA = .000). Perceived individual benefit (β = .489, p < .001), perceived vaccine-safety barrier (β = −.151, p = .001), perceived vaccination-cost barrier (β = −.152, p < .001), and political beliefs (β = −.094, p = .029) are signifi
