Estimated effect of media use on mothers’ vaccination of their children in Sub-Saharan Africa: a quasi-experimental propensity score matching analysis using DHS data
This study finding highlighted that policymakers and planners in SSA countries should give great emphasis to further enhancing media exposure coverage for target groups since it has a substantial impact on improving childhood vaccination uptake. Further research is recommended to examine the cause-effect relationship of media exposure on childhood vaccination by including more proximal variables that were not observed in the present study.
