Maternal Autonomy and Attitudes Towards Gender Norms: Associations with Childhood Immunization in Nigeria

Maternal education and childhood immunization in Turkey

“…Rather, it appears closely correlated with the mother's level of education. The relationship between maternal education and children's immunization rates has been highlighted also in the previous literature (Abuya, Onsomu, Kimani, & Moore, 2011; Altınkaynak, Ertekin, Güraksın, & Kılıc, 2004; Fatiregun & Okoro, 2012; Schoeps et al, 2013; Singh, Haney, & Olorunsaiye, 2013; Vikram, Vanneman, & Desai, 2012). However, this relationship is not necessarily causal, for a number of reasons.…”

A Systematic Review on Factors Affecting Community Participation towards Polio Immunization in Nigeria

“…Three of the studies (Antai D, 2010;Baba and Ayivor, 2012;Antai D, 2012) are retrospectives with secondary data (readymade), in which the first assessed the effect of individual and community level participation, the second evaluate the good, the bad and the ugly aspects of polio in Nigeria, and assessed the association between multiple dimensions of gender inequalities and full childhood immunization. The remaining fifteen articles (Alfred and Alfred, 2012;Nnenna et al, 2013;Iliayasu Z, et al, 2014;Itimi et al, 2012;Ogwumike et al, 2012;Ekure et al, 2013;Tagbo B N, et al, 2012;Oyefara J L, 2014;Awodele O. et al, 2010;Oladejo O P et al, 2013;Abdulraheemetet al, 2011;Singh et al, 2013;Rahji and Ndikom, 2013;Ita et al, 2012;Olawepo and Fashagba, 2014) were purely cross sectional descriptive studies. Two (Iliayasu Z, et al, 2010;Oladejo O P et al, 2013)of the studies were conducted to assess the serological response of OPV to trivalent formulation in order to observe the seroconversion rate among the OPV recipients and the other was a seroprevalence survey of neonates and infants children.…”

“…Only one article was written by a professor in geography. Five surveys from pharmacists, pediatricians and doctors were conducted at practice settings which included teaching hospitals, general hospitals and laboratories (Nnenna et al, 2013;Iliayasu Z et al, 2014;Ogwumike et al, 2012;Tagbo B N et al, 2012;Awodele O et al, 2010), while thirteen conducted the research within the community settings (Antai D, 2010;Alfred and Alfred, 2012;Baba and Ayivor, 2012;Itimi et al 2012;Ekure et al, 2013;Oyefara J L, 2014;Oladejo O P, 2013;Antai D, 2012;Abdulraheem et al,2011Singh et al, 2013Rahji and Ndikom, 2013;Ita et al, 2012;Olawepo and Fashagba,2014). Two of the articles focused on rural households' perception and rural women childhood immunization (Alfred and Alfred, 2012;Olawepo Fashagba, 2014).…”

“…Two of the articles focused on rural households' perception and rural women childhood immunization (Alfred and Alfred, 2012;Olawepo Fashagba, 2014). (Nnenna et al, 2013;Ekure et al, 2013;Tagbo B N et al 2012;Oyefara J L, 2014;Awodele O, et al, 2010;Singh et al, 2013;Rahji and Ndikom, 2013)have discussed about the knowledge, attitude, perception and practice of mothers towards polio immunization. Two papers (Iliayasu Z et al, 2014;Oladejo O P et al, 2013) discussed the seroprevalence and neutralization of antibodies, children with paralytic poliomyelitis (Ogwumike et al, 2012), gender inequalities (Antai D, 2012), reasons for incomplete vaccination (Abdulraheem I S et al, 2011), immunization coverage (Ita et al, 2012), polio vaccination in Nigeria the good, the bad, and the ugly (Baba and Ayivor, 20212), and community participation in childhood immunization in Nigeria (Itimi et al, 2012).…”

“…Fourteen surveys had a response rate of over 50% for community participation in polio immunization program (Antai D, 2010;Alfred and Alfred, 2012;Nnenna et al, 2013;Baba and Ayivor, 2012;Iliayasu Z et al, 2014;Ogwumike et al, 2012;Oyefara J L, 2014;Awodele O,2010;Oladejo O P, 2013;Antai D, 2012;Singh et al, 2013;Rahji and Ndiko, 2013;Ita et al, 2012;Olawepo and Fashagba,2014).…”
