| dc.description.abstract | Abstract OBJECTIVES: This paper asks whether intensive outreach services can eliminate socioeconomic differentials in vaccine coverage. METHODS: In 1990, the Matlab Maternal and Child Health/Family Planning Project (MCH-FP) surveyed 4238 respondents in an intervention area that received outreach and 3708 respondents in a comparison area in rural Bangladesh. Interacted multiple regression methods assessed the degree to which various socioeconomic indicators predicted the probability of vaccine receipt in each area. RESULTS: Low parental schooling, small dwelling size and female gender were significantly associated with incomplete vaccination in the comparison area, where only the limited government services existed. Residence in the MCH-FP outreach area greatly reduced, and in some cases eliminated, the effects of these socioeconomic barriers to vaccine receipt. CONCLUSIONS: Public health programmes utilizing outreach can reduce prevailing gender and socioeconomic differentials in vaccine receipt. | en |
