Synopsis

The study focused on the “Analysis of factors obstructing polio eradication process in Pashtun society”. The study aimed to analyze various dimensions of polio eradication with special emphasis on managerial and operational factors, anti-polio and religious controversy, security threats, and parental socioeconomic status. Furthermore, the study attempted to find an association between the aforementioned dimensions and the polio eradication process by using statistical techniques.
