Study aim	Explore parental attitudes towards MMR and immunisation generally from a sociological perspective
Study setting	UK; secondary analysis of two qualitative data sets on parental views of the MMR vaccination carried out for the Health Education Board for Scotland in 1999 and 2001 in the context of growing concern about the impact on immunisation take‐up rates following the publication of a report in The Lancet that highlighted a putative link between MMR, autism, and inflammatory bowel disease. The 1999 study included parents stratified by deprivation category (DEPCAT) and by whether they were at a pre‐ or post‐MMR invitation stage; the 2001 study included parents from 3 health board areas, different socioeconomic areas, with varying degrees of concern about immunisation and who had children aged between 2 and 6 months, or 7 and 18 months.
