[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xHs77n. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices encourages dormitory residents to receive influenza vaccination. To our knowledge, there are no studies that have directly examined factors associated with vaccination uptake among university students residing in dormitories. We therefore sought to examine the influence of demographic, social and health behaviours on influenza vaccination coverage among college dormitory students. Methods Cross-sectional analysis of baseline questionnaire data obtained from 845 eligible participants in a non-pharmaceutical intervention study for reducing influenza during the 2007-2008 influenza season. Significant predictors were identified through logistic regression analysis with generalised estimating equations to account for resident clustering. Results Increasing parental educational attainment was significantly associated with a trend in higher vaccination uptake among students : college graduate versus some college or less (OR 3.48,95% CI 1.33 to 9.12) and some postgraduate education versus some college or less (OR 5.89,95% CI 2.35 to 14.80) (trend test p
