The aim of this study was to analyze the level of confidence and correct awareness about immunizations, which are crucial for the success of vaccination programmes.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>As part of the NAVIDAD multicentre study, we examined vaccination confidence and complacency among a sample of 1820 pregnant women from 14 Italian cities.

Almost 20% of them had misconceptions on most of the themes. There was a significant difference in the level of knowledge considering educational level: women with a high educational level have less probability of obtaining a low knowledge score (odds ratio (OR) 0.43 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34\u20130.54]). The level of knowledge was also influenced by the sources of information: women who received information from their general practitioner (GP) and from institutional websites had a significantly lower chance of having misconceptions (OR 0.74 [95% CI 0.58\u20130.96]; OR 0.59 [95% CI 0.46\u20130.74]). Finally, the results underlined the influence of trust in healthcare professional information on the likelihood of having misconceptions (OR 0.49 [95% CI 0.27\u20130.89]).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The data suggest the efficacy of GPs and institutional websites as a source of information to contrast misconceptions and underline the importance of confidence in the healthcare system to increase complacency and confidence in vaccines.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/eurpub\/ckz209","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,29]],"date-time":"2019-10-29T20:09:27Z","timestamp":1572379767000},"page":"286-292","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Knowledge and beliefs on vaccines among a sample of Italian pregnant women: results from the NAVIDAD study"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Fabrizio","family":"Bert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, University of Torino, Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Olivero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, University of Torino, Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paola","family":"Rossello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, University of Torino, Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria R","family":"Gualano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, University of Torino, Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silvana","family":"Castaldi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences for Health, University of Milan, Milano, Italy"},{"name":"Fondazione IRCCS C\u00e0 Granda OMP, Milano, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gianfranco","family":"Damiani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A.
