这项研究评估了母亲的宗教信仰在儿童免疫状况的存活儿童12个月大的年龄和年龄在尼日利亚，使用2003年尼日利亚人口和健康调查（NDHS）的数据。在两个相互竞争的假设-“特征假设”和“特殊化神学假设”的指导下，使用逻辑回归分析对尼日利亚儿童免疫接种风险的变化进行了研究。结果表明，宗教在未免疫的风险中起作用;宗教与部分免疫的风险无关;然而，宗教与完全免疫的风险降低显著相关。
This study assessed the role of mother's religious affiliation in child immunization status of surviving children 12 months of age and older in Nigeria, using data from the 2003 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS). Guided by two competing hypotheses - the 'characteristics hypothesis' and the 'particularized theology hypothesis' - variations in the risks of child immunization in Nigeria were examined using logistic regression analysis. The results indicate that religion plays a role in the risk of non-immunization; religion was not associated with the risk of partial immunization; however, religion was significantly associated with the reduced risk of full immunization.
