Abstract

A quasi-experimental intervention study was designed to compare the influence of behavioral cues on immunization practices of elders. Elders also were surveyed to determine immunization practices related to influenza and pneumonia and to ascertain reasons for under-immunization among this age group. The Neuman Systems Model and the Health Belief Model were used as conceptual frameworks to guide the study. Data were collected utilizing a Demographic Survey (DS) and an Immunization Survey (IS).
