Abstract

A couple of studies in Ethiopia have explored the impacts of social capital on measles vaccinations. However, the basic relationship between social capital and measles vaccination remains unexplained. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of caregivers’ structural social capital on measles vaccinations among nine-month-old infants in Ethiopia. The 2011 first round worldwide Young Lives Survey dataset for Ethiopia was utilized, and the situation of 1652 children living with a mother/father was analyzed through the clustered sample and logistic regression. Results show that caregivers’ social interaction and membership (professional union, political, religious and funeral/credit groups), social support (from political pioneers, government officials, charitable NGOs, family/relatives, and friends), and collective activities (which they join along with other family units, and talk to local authorities) were significantly positively associated with measles vaccination at a 0.05 significance level after adjusting for covariates. Any future attempts to advance measles vaccination status in Ethiopia without understanding caregivers’ social group enrolment, social support, and collective activity are likely to be unsuccessful.

社会资本与疫苗接种：埃塞俄比亚9个月大儿童麻疹疫苗接种的个案研究

埃塞俄比亚的几项研究探讨了社会资本对麻疹疫苗接种的影响。然而，社会资本与麻疹疫苗接种之间的基本关系仍然无法解释。本研究的目的是调查照顾者的结构性社会资本对埃塞俄比亚9个月大婴儿麻疹疫苗接种的影响。利用2011年埃塞俄比亚第一轮全球青年生活调查数据集，通过聚类样本和逻辑回归分析了1652名与母亲/父亲生活在一起的儿童的情况。结果显示，照顾者的社会互动和成员关系（专业联盟、政治、宗教和葬礼/信贷团体）、社会支持（来自政治先驱、政府官员、慈善非政府组织、家人/亲戚和朋友），集体活动（他们与其他家庭单位一起参加，并与地方当局交谈）与麻疹疫苗接种呈显著正相关，经协变量调整后，其显著性水平为0.05。在不了解照顾者的社会团体登记、社会支持和集体活动的情况下，未来任何提高埃塞俄比亚麻疹疫苗接种状况的尝试都可能失败。
