[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xxblw7. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We examined the effects of maternal and provider characteristics on the up-to-date immunization status of children Methods. We used data from the 2003 National immunization Survey to determine variations in children's up-to-date status in the 4 : 3 : 1 : 3 immunization series. Results. Low maternal educational levels and low socioeconomic status were associated with high 4 : 3 : 1 : 3 series completion rates. Also, completion rates were high in Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black families with low income-to-poverty ratios Conclusions. We found that children of less educated mothers and children in Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black families with low income to poverty ratios were more likely to have completed the 4 : 3 : 1 : 3 series Although the reasons for these results need further exploration in other data sels, possible factors are Hispanics positive cultural attitudes regarding the needs and importan of young children and provision of information on immunizations to'low-income minority mothers who access government subsidized health care programs.
