Effectiveness of a Census-Based Management Information System for Guiding Polio Eradication and Routine Immunization Activities: Evidence from the CORE Group Polio Project in Uttar Pradesh, India.

ABSTRACT: Census-based management information systems (CB-MISs) bring strength and power to public health programs by providing current information about everyone in the population covered by the program.

It also assesses the feasibility of the CB-MIS for vital events registration.
