Physicians highlight that annual flu vaccination is the best strategy for preventing seasonal flu and flu-associated complications and it reduces the burden of infectious diseases. Path analyses were used to understand whether health beliefs (barriers, benefits, susceptibility, severity) influence flu vaccinations, in turn, enhance self-rated health of White, African American, Hispanic, and Asian adults in the U.S. (N = 446). Multiple-group analyses were performed to see whether given paths vary across the four groups. Regardless of race, perceived barriers and benefits significantly influenced flu vaccination. There was a group variance in the path-model of the perceived barriers, flu vaccination, and self-rated health. Although the direct effect of perceived barriers on flu vaccination was shown for all racial groups, the direct effect of perceived barriers on self-rated health was shown only for Asians. Social workers and healthcare providers should be educated to appropriately interpret different meanings of health beliefs of diverse racial groups
