A probability sample of mothers living in the metropolitan area of Mexico City and having at least one child under five years old was selected for the study. Four outcome variables were defined as measuring the impact of the campaign : (I) mothers'knowledge about the SNHW ; (2) mothers'comprehension indicating how well they understood the campaign messages (aware, partly aware and unaware) ; (3) mothers'motivation, i.e. whether or not they sought out immunizations for their children under the age of five and (4) mothers'opinion of how well they liked the messages. A total of 935 mothers were interviewed ; 88.2% knew about the SNHW, 64.3% were aware that the campaign aimed to provide immunizations, and most held a favorable opinion about the messages. Among aware mothers, 87.5% of their children received immunizations. (...) |
