The completion of immunization schedules by one year, among the 294 children, was positively associated (P<0.005) with the town of residence of the child and mother, the ability of the mother to speak English, the target child having been treated for illness at the local hospital, the child's mother having given birth to less than 5 children, the possession of a sewing machine by the mother, and the birth of the child in the current town of residence. Significantly higher immunization coverage levels were achieved where the Under Fives' Clinic was an affordable and acceptable service, integrating preventive and curative care, and where measures were implemented by the community to increase attendance levels at the Clinic. This was achieved among a target group who were otherwise at a relatively high risk of failing to complete immunization schedules on-time. © 1995 Oxford University Press Research Reports nationallicence BRUGHA RUAIRl St Mary's Hospital Medical School London aut KEVANY JOHN Medical School, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland aut Health Policy and Planning Oxford University Press 10/3(1995-09), 312-318 0268-1080 10:3<312 1995 10 heapol https://doi.org/10.1093/heapol/10.3.312 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/heapol/10.3.312 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- BRUGHA RUAIRl St Mary's Hospital Medical School London aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- KEVANY JOHN Medical School, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Health Policy and Planning Oxford University Press 10/3(1995-09), 312-318 0268-1080 10:3<312 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
