Using qualitative systems mapping to analyze the linkages between the behavioral and social (BeSD) determinants of routine childhood immunization in LMICs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Designing effective immunization programs requires a strong understanding of how the factors affecting vaccine uptake interplay. In this review, we analyze the relationships between the Behavioral and Social Drivers (BeSD) of routine immunization using qualitative systems mapping (QSM).

Methods

In this review, we analyzed 92 experimental and quasi-experimental impact evaluations (IEs) from 11 LMICs that were published between 2010 and 2020. Secondary literature on the study context or the intervention was also included. The WHO's behavioral and social determinants (BeSD) framework was used to code the determinants identified in these IEs, and their relationships were mapped using qualitative systems mapping. We computed the in-degree (influenced by other determina
