The problem
Intervention: Culturally tailored storytelling and singing activities featuring traditional melodies and religious sensitivity, developed with input from health workers, religious leaders, and parents
Who it was tested with: Children aged 18 months to 5 years in government child care centers across eight districts in five provinces in southern Thailand.
The same group is measured before the intervention and again afterwards, with a baseline and an endline and sometimes a midline. Change is visible, but other causes cannot be ruled out.
"The intervention comprised two main components: storytelling sessions and singing activities, both utilizing culturally resonant content and formats to effectively engage the community... Results indicated a substantial increase in MMR vaccination coverage from 44.3% to 72.0% twelve months post-intervention, and further to 77.0% at 48 months post-intervention." The study measured the same population before and after the intervention at multiple time points, demonstrating sustained improvement in vaccination coverage.
The study reports only baseline and follow-up measurements without a comparison group, making it difficult to attribute the increase solely to the intervention. No information on dropout rates, contamination, or concurrent policy changes that might affect vaccination rates.
