Project title: Drivers of misinformation, gender disparity and masculinity on vaccination decision-making among caregivers in sub-Saharan Africa (MisGenMas)
The project seeks to explore the factors informing childhood vaccination decision-making in Kenya, Malawi and Nigeria. Previous studies have identified immense disparities in childhood immunization coverage between boys and girls in sub-Saharan Africa, in part due to misinformation that vaccines cause infertility in women among other socio-cultural factors. Drawing on communication science, gender studies and psychology, this project investigates the factors contributing to the gender gap, the drivers of misinformation and the role of men/fathers as patriarchal heads of households in vaccination decision-making, ultimately aiming to improve immunization initiatives for children and adolescents.
