The data was collected in Bushenyi district of south\u2010western Uganda in 6 focus group discussions about outcomes of attendance at NIDs, about who decides on attendance, and about attendance barriers and supports. The purpose of NIDs \u2013 eradicating polio \u2013 was not known to the informants. The main reason mentioned for attending NIDs and other immunization was to weaken childhood diseases or to strengthen the children's capability in fighting diseases, whether they are immunizable or not. However, it was strongly believed that the previous NIDs had caused a severe malaria epidemic with a very high mortality, and this led to most parents not attending the next. Sources of social influence were mostly opinion and local leaders in communities, health workers, friends and relatives. Opinion leaders who did not immunize their children were said to hinder attendance at NIDs by other lay people. NIDs cards, on the other hand, were regarded as valuable means of support for attendance. Thus to improve immunization coverage, there is need for issuing NIDs cards, for using health education to change the belief that NIDs cause malaria, and to encourage local leaders to attend NIDs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-3156.2000.00560.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,12]],"date-time":"2003-03-12T21:34:45Z","timestamp":1047504885000},"page":"364-369","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Causes of low attendance at National Immunization Days for polio eradication in Bushenyi District, Uganda"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"F.","family":"Nuwaha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Mulindwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Kabwongyera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Barenzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,12,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0749-5978(91)90020-T"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0277-9536(99)00275-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","first-page":"897","article-title":"Developing and testing a decision model for influenza vaccination compliance.","volume":"20","author":"Carter WB","year":"1986","journal-title":"Health Service Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/18.2.427"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/pmed.1994.1023"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/her\/3.3.273"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","volume-title":"Acceptability of Immunisation in a rural community of Kabale District, Uganda","author":"Hitimana\u2010Lukanika E","year":"1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-88-2-251"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14792779643000038"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","volume-title":"Focus groups: a practical guide for applied research","author":"Krueger RA","year":"1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","volume-title":"Sensitivity of Plasmodium falciparum in vivo to chloroquine and pyrimethamine\u2010sulfadoxine in Mbarara South\u2010western Uganda, epicentre, Kampala Uganda","author":"Legros D","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","volume-title":"Uganda Demographic and Health Survey, Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning","author":"Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning","year":"1995"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","volume-title":"Field guide for national immunisation days in Uganda 1996\u20132000: The quest for zero polio in Uganda has started","author":"Ministry of Health","year":"1996"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","volume-title":"National coverage for first round of national immunisation days August 1998","author":"Ministry of Health","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","volume-title":"Training in Epidemiological Surveillance and Management of Epidemics at the District Level","author":"Ministry of Health","year":"1998"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0035-9203(93)90001-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007435-199909000-00011"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","volume-title":"Focus groups: theory and practice","author":"Stewart DW","year":"1990"}],"container-title":["Tropical Medicine &amp; International Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1046%2Fj.1365-3156.2000.00560.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1046\/j.1365-3156.2000.00560.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,29]],"date-time":"2023-10-29T13:24:39Z","timestamp":1698585879000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1046\/j.1365-3156.2000.00560.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2000,5]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2000,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1046\/j.1365-3156.2000.00560.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1046\/j.1365-3156.2000.00560.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1360-2276","1365-3156"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1360-2276","type":"print"},{"value":"1365-3156","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2000,5]]}}}
