The problem
Intervention: Not applicable - this is an observational study identifying associated factors with age-inappropriate vaccination, not testing an intervention
Who it was tested with: 417 mothers and caregivers of children aged 12 to 23 months in Menz Lalo district, northeast Ethiopia.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Menz Lalo district from March to April/2018 among 417 mothers/caregivers with children 12 to 23 months of age using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Information about children's vaccination status was collected from vaccination cards." This is an observational survey that measures the prevalence of age-appropriate vaccination and identifies associated factors but does not evaluate an intervention.
This is an observational cross-sectional study without a comparison or intervention group, so it identifies associations but cannot demonstrate causal relationships or test effectiveness of any intervention. The study cannot explain why these factors are associated with delayed vaccination.
