A cross sectional study was conducted to determine the variables which have an individual predictive power on nonutilization of immunisation services using logistic regression model. Children between 12 and 23 months of age were assessed and enrolled using a pretested interview schedule. Statistical analysis was done using descriptive statistics, univariate analysis using Chi Square tests and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Of the 200 children studied 56% were fully immunised. Only illiterate mothers (p < 0.05) and poor access (> 3 km) to health facility (p < 0.001) were found to have an independent predictive power on the nonutilization of immunisation services. Sex of the child, parity levels, socioeconomic status did not independently influence the utilisation pattern. It is possible to identify these still existing small pockets of nonusers of immunisation services through the predictive variables and target them through special efforts.
进行了一项横断面研究，以确定使用逻辑回归模型对未使用免疫服务具有个体预测能力的变量。使用预先测试的访谈时间表对12至23个月大的儿童进行评估和登记。使用描述性统计、卡方检验的单变量分析和多变量逻辑回归分析进行统计分析。在研究的200名儿童中，56% 完全免疫。发现只有文盲母亲（p < 0.05）和到医疗机构的距离较远（> 3公里）（p < 0.001）对未使用免疫服务具有独立的预测能力。儿童性别、胎次水平、社会经济地位并未独立影响使用模式。通过预测变量有可能识别出这些仍然存在的未使用免疫服务的小群体，并通过特殊努力针对他们。
