Exploring determinants of vaccination status among pediatric populations in East Gojam, Amhara Region, Ethiopia.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionVaccination is a critical public health intervention that significantly reduces morbidity and mortality among children. Despite its importance, vaccination coverage remains suboptimal in many regions, including East Gojam, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. This study investigated the sociodemographic, economic, and cultural determinants of vaccination status among pediatric populations in East Gojam.
methodsUsing a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 1,900 respondents, categorizing vaccination status as not vaccinated, partially vaccinated, or fully vaccinated. Multinomial logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of predictors such as child age, gender, parental education level, household income, geographic location, access to healthcare, trust in healthcare providers, sources of vaccination information, cultural beliefs, and perceived government support for vaccination.
resultsThe results revealed that higher parental education levels and urban residence positively influence vaccination status. Older children were less likely to be fully vaccinated, indicating a need for targeted outreach. Access to healthcare services and trust in healthcare providers significantly promoted vaccination, whereas negative cultural beliefs and misinformation adversely affected vaccination status. Perceived government support for vaccination was also a significant predictor.
conclusionThis study concludes that addressing these multifaceted determinants through educational programs, improved healthcare access, trust-building initiatives, accurate information dissemination, stronger governmental support, targeted outreach for older children, community engagement, and multisectoral collaboration can enhance vaccination coverage and improve public health outcomes in East Gojam and similar settings.
