Acceptance of DPT, measles and BCG vaccinations were the dependent variables. The independent variables included proximity to health facilities, frequency of visit by health worker, respondent's mobility, media exposure, education, age, economic status of household, region of residence, and gender of child. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the net effects of the variables in addition to univariate analysis. Among the independent variables, proximity to health facility, frequency of health worker's visit, mother's mobility, education, age, gender of child, ownership of radio, economic condition of household, and region of residence showed statistically significant association with acceptance of immunization. The effect of frequency of health worker's visit was dependent on region of residence, possession of radio, and mother's education. The effect of mother's ability to visit health centre alone was also dependent on ownership of radio, economic condition of household, and mother's education. © 1995 Oxford University Press Research Reports nationallicence BHUIYA ABBAS International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research Bangladesh aut BHUIY ISMAT Population Council, Dhaka, Bangladesh aut CHOWDHURY MUSHTAQUE BRAC, Dhaka, Bangladesh aut Health Policy and Planning Oxford University Press 10/3(1995-09), 304-311 0268-1080 10:3<304 1995 10 heapol https://doi.org/10.1093/heapol/10.3.304 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/heapol/10.3.304 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- BHUIYA ABBAS International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research Bangladesh aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- BHUIY ISMAT Population Council, Dhaka, Bangladesh aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- CHOWDHURY MUSHTAQUE BRAC, Dhaka, Bangladesh aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Health Policy and Planning Oxford University Press 10/3(1995-09), 304-311 0268-1080 10:3<304 1995 10 heapol Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
