The study, completed by the College of Public Health, University of Arizona, originally looked at 2010-2011 kindergarten immunization data collected from 1,018 Arizona schools. In 2012 the study was expanded to include a survey of physicians who immunize children, and immunization record reviews, parent surveys, and town hall meetings at schools with high personal beliefs exemption rates.
