| Contraints/Limitations | (a) There is a reasonable degree of technical complexity, and the surveys can be costly and time consuming. (b) Multiple ways in which a KAP survey is conducted, with approaches customized according to the purpose and subject area of the study. When deciding to undertake a KAP survey a range of approaches should also be considered. |
| Why use it | (a) KAP surveys reveal misunderstandings that may represent obstacles to the activities that we would like to implement and potential barriers to behaviour change. (b) Provides an evidence base to support design of context specific interventions. (c) Guides intervention strategy that reflects specific local circumstances and the cultural factors that influence them. (d) In relation to zero dose and under-immunised, assists to support design and intervention strategy adapted to local contexts. |
