First, a descriptive analysis of vaccine knowledge, beliefs and misconceptions was conducted, describing the sample as agree/ disagree/don't know to the items.
Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to estimate the impact of the socio-demographic frame, trust in the healthcare system and information sources on the level of each woman's vaccine knowledge. Based on data collected from the section 'interviewee's vaccine knowledge, beliefs and misconceptions', in univariate analysis, the dependent variable was described as 'high knowledge level' or 'low knowledge level'. If the number of 'agree' and 'don't know' on false myths was at least 4 out of 13, the interviewee was considered to have a 'low knowledge level'. In contrast, if the number of 'agree' and 'don't know' on false myths was at most 3 out of 13, the interviewee was considered to have 'high knowledge level'.
The covariates included in the final model were selected using a stepwise forward selection process, with the criterion of a P values at univariate <0.25. 20 The results are expressed as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and the P values 0.05 was considered significant for all analyses.
