The problem
Intervention: Five theory-based health education sessions delivered to pregnant women using Social Cognitive Theory framework to improve knowledge, attitudes, outcome expectations, self-efficacy, cultural beliefs and assumptions about religious regulations regarding childhood immunisation
Who it was tested with: Antenatal mothers aged 18 years and above in their third trimester attending Federal Medical Centre Gusau, Zamfara State, Nigeria.
Children or communities are compared with a group that did not receive the intervention, or followed over years. This is the design that best separates what the intervention did from everything else that changed.
"The study will be a single-blind parallel-group randomised controlled trial, where baseline data will be collected from 392 estimated antenatal mothers, after that they will be evenly randomised using randomly generated permuted block sizes" with follow-up at multiple timepoints post-delivery. This is a rigorous experimental design with randomisation and comparison groups, allowing for causal inference about intervention effects on immunisation uptake.
This is a study protocol only; it describes the planned methodology but provides no outcome data. Findings cannot be evaluated until the trial is completed and results are published.
