A study of the factors influencing the knowledge and attitude of mothers of under five children of a selected area of Kunderki, Moradabad U.P. regarding immunization and efficacy of a need based intervention strategy towards its improvement. In this experimental research study i need a conceptual framework .so please help me to design a conceptual model.
Farha,
In the context of vaccine uptake, the Health Belief Model is a very effective model in the context of uptake of immunizations. Many researchers have utilized this social behavioral theory in order to study perceived effectiveness of the vaccine, perceived risk, perceived barriers to vaccine uptake and adherence, and cues to action (situational factors that trigger one to get vaccinated or adhere to a vaccine regimen) (Brewer et al., 2007). In order to find out more details about this model you can read more on this in this book (Glanz, Rimer, and Viswanath, 2008). If you have any other questions let me know.

Farha, along with Health Belief Model, social psychology model of social inoculation by Irving Janis can be used to conceptualize your work in the context of your specified variables.
Health Belief Model would be appropriate, if your research demands you to show the behavioral change related to the context. you can choose Systems model: input, process and out put; where you can show the variables in initial assessment, your effort to change the knowledge and attitude and output (reassessment), may add feed back too...
The health belief model as predictor of preventive health behaviors (Redman, 1980). It provides a complete theory regarding readiness to take health action. According to it, people are not likely to take health action unless they:
■ believe that they are susceptible to the disease in question;
■ believe that the disease would have serious effects on their lives if they should contract it;
■ are aware of certain actions that can be taken, and believe that these actions may reduce their likelihood of contracting the diseases or reduce the severity of it;
■ believe that the threat of taking the action is not as great as the threat of contacting the disease itself.
The model is based on the value expectancy approach to predicting behavior, which has a high cognitive value which motivates or acts a stimulus for change in behavior.
