Abstract

other factors that might influence uptake of rubella immunisation every girl in the control and intervention groups filled in a questionnaire, from which we established her age, family composition, and social class and discovered whether she had any knowledge about rubella and intended to accept immunisation.There was no significant difference between the control and intervention schools in any of these factors.One hundred and seventy-nine girls (19 °' ) had knowledge of rubella and 425 (45 %) said that they intended to accept immunisation.The table shows the numbers of girls immunised in the control and intervention groups.An uptake of 93 % was achieved overall in the intervention group compared with 75 % in the control group.This difference is significant (p <0-001).There was no significant difference between the girls immunised and not immunised as regards social class, family size and composition, or knowledge of rubella and intention to accept.Details are given elsewhere.2
