These findings highlight the need for targeted interventi…
Multi-level analysis of intimate partner violence and its determinants among reproductive age group women in Ethiopia

Utilization of key preventive measures for pregnancy complications and malaria among women in Jimma Zone, Ethiopia
ANC and ITN uptake during pregnancy in Jimma Zone fall below the respective targets of 95 and 90% set in the Ethiopian Health Sector Transformation Plan for 2020, suggesting that more intensive programmatic efforts still need to be directed towards improving access to these health services. Reaching ANC non-users and ITN ownership and use as part of ANC services could be emphasized to address these gaps

This research demonstrates the application of rapid qualitative assessment methods to explore the context for MNCH promotion activitie…
