  • Potential Impact of Large‐Scale Food Fortification in Ethiopia

    Open AccessAregash Samuel, Ramadhani Noor et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025

    Large-scale food fortification (LSFF) is an effective public health measure because it may reach a large number of populations at risk using current food delivery systems. The objective of the study was to assess coverage and consumption of fortifiable foods at the household level and to assess the potential impact of LSFF on child outcomes (stunting and survival) in Ethiopia. Cross-sectional survey data on sociodemographic characteristics, dieta…

  • Co‐Coverage of Essential Interventions Across the Health System Continuum of Care for Improving Child Nutrition in Ethiopia

    Open AccessAlemnesh Petros, Meron Girma et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025

    This study aimed to assess the coverage of essential nutrition interventions delivered through the health system and explored the relationship between co-coverage and child- and maternal-level factors, household-level factors, and access to healthcare facilities. We used data from the Ethiopia Food and Nutrition Strategy Baseline Survey, a population-based cross-sectional study conducted between July 2021 and October 2022. The survey was conducte…

  • Unveiling Disparities and Missed Opportunities in Vitamin A Supplementation Among Children Under Five in Ethiopia

    Open AccessTsedey Moges, Meron Girma et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025

    Vitamin A supplementation (VAS) is an effective and low-cost strategy for improving vitamin A status and reducing childhood morbidity and mortality. Ethiopia started nationwide biannual VAS in 2006, but routine VAS coverage consistently remained low, necessitating the use of multiple delivery approaches. This study aimed to determine coverage, existing disparities, and missed opportunities for VAS among children under 5 years of age in Ethiopia. …

  • Identifying Community Violence Intervention (CVI) Approaches

    Open AccessDevon Ziminski, Julia P Schleimer et al.ARTICLEINQUIRY The Journal of Health…2025

    Community violence interventions (CVI) encompass a range of strategies aimed at reducing community firearm violence among those most affected. While CVI is an umbrella term, specific CVI approaches across the United States differ markedly in their underlying theoretical frameworks, specific program activities, and populations served. These different CVI approaches have not been well defined or uniformly understood. Given unprecedented financial s…

  • Predictors of prediabetes/diabetes and hypertension in Ethiopia

    Open AccessTom Norris, Meron Girma et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2022

    The objective of our study was to reanalyse the Ethiopia STEPwise approach to Surveillance Noncommunicable Disease Risk Factors survey (NCD STEPS), using causal path diagrams constructed using expert subject matter knowledge in conjunction with graphical model theory to map the underlying causal network of modifiable factors associated with prediabetes/diabetes and hypertension. We used data from the 2015 Ethiopia NCD STEPS representative cross-s…

  • Drivers of change in weight‐for‐height among children under 5 years of age in Ethiopia

    Open AccessMeron Girma, Alemayehu Hussein et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2022

    The prevention of wasting should be a public health priority as the global burden of acute malnutrition is still high. Gaps still exist in our understanding of context-specific risk factors and interventions that can be implemented to prevent acute malnutrition. We used data from the four rounds of the Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey (2000-2016) to identify risk factors that have contributed to the change in weight-for-height z-score (WHZ)…

  • Progress in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (Wash) coverage and potential contribution to the decline in diarrhea and stunting in Ethiopia

    Open AccessMeron Girma, Alemayehu Hussein et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2021

    Inadequate safe water supply and poor sanitation and hygiene continue to be important risk factors for diarrhoea and stunting globally. We used data from the four rounds of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey and applied the new World Health Organization (WHO)/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) service standards to assess progress in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) coverage between 2000 and 2016. We also performed an age-disaggreg…
