Studies have assessed the effects of a given vertical health programme on a health system separately<jats:italic>\u202f<\/jats:italic>from the goals of the vertical programme itself. Further, these health system effects are often categorised as either positive or negative. Yet health systems are in fact complex, dynamic and tightly linked. Relationships between elements of the system determine programme and system-level outcomes over time.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We constructed a causal loop diagram of the interactions between mass polio vaccination campaigns and government health systems in Ethiopia, India and Nigeria, working inductively from two qualitative datasets. The first dataset was 175 interviews conducted with policymakers, officials and frontline staff in these countries in 2011\u20132012. The second was 101 interviews conducted with similar groups in 2019, focusing on lessons learnt from polio eradication.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Pursuing high coverage in polio campaigns, without considering the dynamic impacts of campaigns on health systems, <jats:italic>cost<\/jats:italic> campaign coverage gains over time in weaker health systems with many campaigns. Over time, the systems effects of frequent campaigns, delivered through parallel structures, led to a loss of frontline worker motivation, and an increase in vaccine hesitancy in recipient populations. Co-delivery of interventions helped to mitigate these negative effects. In stronger health systems with fewer campaigns, these issues did not arise.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>It benefits vertical programmes to reduce the construction of parallel systems and pursue co-delivery of interventions where possible, and to consider the workflow of frontline staff. Ultimately, for health campaign designs to be effective, they must make sense for those delivering and receiving campaign interventions, and must take into account the complex, adaptive nature of the health systems in which they operate.\u202f<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjgh-2021-006002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,3]],"date-time":"2021-08-03T12:17:43Z","timestamp":1627993063000},"page":"e006002","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["30 years of polio campaigns in Ethiopia, India and Nigeria: the impacts of campaign design on vaccine hesitancy and health worker motivation"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4254-9582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abigail H","family":"Neel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"International Health, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Svea","family":"Closser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Health, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Villanueva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Health, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Piyusha","family":"Majumdar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SDG School of Public Health, Indian Institute of Health Management Research, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S D","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SDG School of Public Health, Indian Institute of Health Management Research, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Krugman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anthropology, Middlebury College, Middlebury, Vermont, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4135-1459","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oluwaseun Oladapo","family":"Akinyemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Policy and Management, University of Ibadan College of Medicine, Ibadan, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wakgari","family":"Deressa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Preventive Medicine, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6143-8634","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Kalbarczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Health, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7642-2806","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olakunle","family":"Alonge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Health, Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025072914093057000_6.8.e006002.1","unstructured":"PAHO .
