objective To assess the current measles vaccination status in Bangladesh, explain changing differentials in measles vaccination, and determine contexts that may improve measles vaccination coverage.methods Secondary data analysis of datasets (2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014) from the nationally representative Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys that followed stratified, multi-stage cluster sampling design conducted both in urban and rural contexts.results 5468 children aged 12-23 months were surveyed, of whom 892 (16%) reported noncompliance to measles vaccine. After simultaneous adjusting for covariates in multivariate logistic regression, children who came from a poor socio-economic background, who had mothers with no formal schooling, who were underweight, of higher birth order (≥4), who had adolescent mothers, who had a history of home delivery and who had no exposure to media were observed to be significantly associated with lack of measles vaccination. Measles vaccination coverage among children of adolescent mothers was consistently low. Despite lack of media exposure, measles vaccination status gradually increased from 26% in 2004 to 33% in 2014. Lack of maternal education was no longer associated with measles vaccination status in 2007, 2011 and 2014. Stunted children continued to be associated with lack of measles immunisation in 2014. Children with higher birth order demonstrated 53% excess risk for not being immunised with measles vaccine. Mothers with no exposure to mass media were two times more likely to have children without measles immunisation as indicated by BDHS 2014 data.conclusions Our findings will help policy makers formulate strategies for expanding measles vaccination coverage in order to achieve further reduction in disease burden and mortality in Bangladesh.

“…These findings are consistent with previous studies in low-and middleincome countries. [27,29,30] In Ethiopia, a study that assessed immunisation coverage and its determinants found that children in households with a family monthly income >1 000 ETB (or 52 USD) were more likely to be fully vaccinated. [31] Even though healthcare is free in SA for children aged <5 years, poor families may still have challenges with the transport costs involved in seeking regular healthcare.…”

“…Thus, education indicates or modifies the risk of a range of mechanisms and exposures that work to influence health at multiple stages: for example, education may at once influence health behaviors, the ability to interpret and to comply with health recommendations, the ability to effectively interface with healthcare professionals, and the social and physical environment that individuals inhabit. Since development, the theory has since been tested and expanded upon using a variety of different outcomes and measures, socioeconomic status has been associated with smoking (Link and Phelan 2009), reduced use of preventive medicine including vaccination (Clouston, Kidman and Palermo 2014, Polonijo and Carpiano 2013) or cancer screening (Link et al 1998), colorectal cancer mortality (Saldana-Ruiz et al 2013), lung cancer mortality (Rubin, Clouston and Link 2014), suicide (Clouston et al In Press), cognitive capability (Clouston et al 2012, Glymour et al 2008), and all-cause mortality (Huisman et al 2013). …”

Educational Inequalities in Health Behaviors at Midlife

Educational attainment is a fundamental cause of social inequalities in health because it influences the distribution of resources, including money, knowledge, power, prestige, and beneficial social connections that can be used in situ to influence health. However, recent studies have highlighted early-life cognition as commonly indicating the propensity for education and determining health and mortality. A primary causal mechanism through which education and adolescent cognition plausibly impact health is through the modification of health behaviors. We integrate analyses using the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, the National Survey of Health and Development, and the National Childhood Development Study to examine the role of adolescent cognition and education on smoking, heavy drinking, and physical inactivity at midlife. Results suggest that adolescent cognition is associated with the propensity for education, but that associations between cognition and health behaviors are attenuated by adjusting for education. In contrast, education was robustly associated with poor health behaviors. These results support the view that education is robustly associated with health behaviors.
