Abstract：
BACKGROUND:The goal of this pilot study was to correlate missed opportunities to immunize young children with providers' psychosocial characteristics and self-reported immunization practices. METHODS:In a population of children aged 0 to 36 months, missed opportunities to immunize were established for a sample of 28 providers, who also responded to a valid and reliable instrument measuring the aforementioned variables. RESULTS:Missed opportunities were significantly lower among providers with higher vested interest (r=-0.45, p=0.02) and tended to be lower among providers with more positive attitudes toward having all children properly immunized at every healthcare visit (r=-0.33, p =0.09). Neither knowledge nor perceived barriers correlated significantly with missed opportunities. Providers missed opportunities to immunize in over half of the visits studied (mean, 0.58), yet all of them reported always immunizing at preventive and follow-up visits, almost all (96.3%) at chronic illness visits, and a majority (78.6%) at acute care visits. As a result, none of the self-reported immunization practices was significantly correlated with missed opportunities. CONCLUSIONS:Missed opportunities appear to be best predicted by motivational psychosocial factors and not by knowledge or perceived barriers. Self-reported immunization practices do not correspond to actual immunization behavior.
