  • Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of nutrition interventions at primary health care units of Ethiopia

    Open AccessBilal Shikur Endris, Esete Habtemariam Fenta et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2022

    Accumulating evidence clearly shows poor implementation of nutrition interventions, in Ethiopia and other African countries, with many missed opportunities in the first 1000 days of life. Even though there are high-impact interventions in this critical period, little is known about the barriers and facilitators influencing their implementation. This paper aims to explore barriers and facilitators for the implementation of nutrition services for s…

  • Anaemia and its determinants among young children aged 6–23 months in Ethiopia (2005–2016)

    Open AccessHelen Heinrichs, Bilal Shikur Endris et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    Anaemia in children remains a significant public health threat. Recent numbers from Ethiopia showed that more than two-thirds of children under the age of 2 years were anaemic. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of anaemia throughout Ethiopia over 11 years, making use of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) rounds 2005, 2011 and 2016. The EDHS made it possible to use data on blood tests and detailed questionnaires amon…

  • Long-term sickness absence in a working population

    Open AccessLennart R A van der Burg, Sander M J van Kuijk et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    This multivariable risk prediction model distinguishes well between older workers with high- and low-risk for LTSA in the coming year. Being easy to administer, it can support healthcare professionals in determining which persons should be targeted for tailored preventative interventions

  • How much do the physician review and InterVA model agree in determining causes of death? a comparative analysis of deaths in rural Ethiopia

    Open AccessBerhe Weldearegawi, Yohannes Adama Melaku et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    If the InterVA were used in place of the existing PR process, the overall diagnosis would be fairly similar. The methods had better agreement in important public health diseases like; TB, perinatal causes, and pneumonia/sepsis; and lower in cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms. Therefore, both methods need to be validated against a gold-standard diagnosis of death

  • Applying the InterVA-4 model to determine causes of death in rural Ethiopia

    Open AccessBerhe Weldearegawi, Yohannes Adama Melaku et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    BACKGROUND: In Ethiopia, most deaths take place at home and routine certification of cause of death by physicians is lacking. As a result, reliable cause of death (CoD) data are often not available. Recently, a computerized method for interpretation of verbal autopsy (VA) data, called InterVA, has been developed and used. It calculates the probability of a set of CoD given the presence of circumstances, signs, and symptoms reported during VA inte…

  • Motivation and experiences of self‐testers regarding tests for cardiovascular risk factors

    Open AccessMartine HP Ickenroth, Martine H P Ickenroth et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2014

    Background In recent years, self‐tests have become increasingly available to the general public, though their value is still being debated. Because these tests are available, consumers should have access to clear information about self‐testing. Examining experiences of self‐testers could contribute to the development of consumer information. Objective Detailed exploration of consumers’ experiences with self‐testing for cardiovascular risk factors…

  • The influence of father's child feeding knowledge and practices on children's dietary diversity

    Open AccessSelamawit Mengesha Bilal, Geert‐Jan Dinant et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2014

    Infant and young child feeding has been recognised as an essential element to improve growth of children, especially in developing countries where malnutrition among children and its dire consequences are very prevalent. However, little attention has been paid on the influence of fathers on child feeding practices, although fathers are very important in raising well-adjusted, happy and successful children. Therefore, this study aimed to assess th…

  • To test or not to test

    Open AccessJanaica EJ Grispen, Gaby Ronda et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Psychosocial determinants of self-testing are not identical for all tests and therefore information about self-testing needs to be tailored to a specific test. The general public should not only be informed about advantages of self-test use but also about the disadvantages. Designers of information about self-testing should address all aspects related to self-testing to stimulate informed decision making which, in turn, will result in more effect…

  • Improving behaviour in self-testing (Ibis)

    Open AccessJanaica EJ Grispen, Martine HP Ickenroth et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    The self-testing area is still in a state of flux and therefore it is expected that self-test use will increase in the future. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study which combines quantitative and qualitative research to identify consumers' information needs and use concerning self-testing, and the consumers' actual follow-up behaviour based on the self-test result, and simultaneously investigates the quality of the currently avai…

  • Use of diagnostic self-tests on body materials among Internet users in the Netherlands

    Open AccessGaby Ronda, Piet J M Portegijs et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2009

    Self-testing proved to be relatively prevalent among Dutch Internet users. We therefore think that it is essential to develop appropriate information for consumers, health care providers and policymakers, about the pros and cons of self-testing and specific self-tests. More test-specific research is needed

  • Demographic characteristics and quality of life of patients with unexplained complaints

    Open AccessHelen Koch, Marloes Amantia van Bokhoven et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2007

    General practice patients presenting with UCs have a remarkably poor quality of life. Future research should explore how early identification of patients at risk of developing chronicity can take place. Awareness of potential poor quality of life may influence GPs' medical decision making
