Digital Literacy Training for Parents and Child Immunization Coverage in Northern Ghana: A Qualitative Study

Digital literacy has become increasingly important in modern education and healthcare contexts, particularly in regions with limited access to digital resources. The study employed a qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions among parents in Northern Ghana, focusing on perceptions and practices related to digital literacy and immunization. Parents who participated in the digital literacy training showed increased awareness of the importance of child immunization. Among 20 participants interviewed, 15 reported improved knowledge compared to before the training. The findings suggest that enhancing parents' digital literacy can positively influence their engagement with healthcare practices, including child immunization coverage. Healthcare providers and educators should integrate digital literacy into existing health education programmes to improve public health outcomes in underserved communities. digital literacy, child immunization, parent engagement, qualitative study
