Leveraging a literacy initiative to extend the reach of immunization in underserved populations in India: a synergy for child development
FY 2012-13
Summary
Globally and in India, vaccination rates are lower for children whose families and communities are less educated and whose socioeconomic position is worse. This project proposes to leverage a highly successful child literacy initiative to increase the reach of immunization and other essential child health services in India. The project team will develop novel methods for effective grassroots health education in low-literacy communities and pioneer approaches to improve community engagement in health and health services.
