Listed in DataCite

Method
A sample of 132 parents and expectant parents (mean age 38.40 years; > 60% with university education) participated in a survey related to attitudes toward and knowledge about the MMR and ASD, and completed a standardized test of science (The American College Test). Results: Knowledge of ASD was related to attitudes towards ASD while attitudes towards ASD were related to scientific literacy and attitudes towards MMR. Only attitudes towards MMR predicted MMR vaccine status (i.e., vaccination decision).
Conclusion: Factors other than scientific literacy seem to contribute towards MMR vaccine status.
