  • Adolescent sexual and reproductive health in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessDessalegn Y Melesse, Martin Kavao Mutua et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    Adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) continues to be a major public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa where child marriage, adolescent childbearing, HIV transmission and low coverage of modern contraceptives are common in many countries. The evidence is still limited on inequalities in ASRH by gender, education, urban–rural residence and household wealth for many critical areas of sexual initiation, fertility, marriage, HIV, cond…

  • Differences in prevalence and determinants of hypertension according to rural–urban place of residence among adults in Bangladesh

  • Understanding mother and child health-seeking behavior in urban Pakistan

    Marina Haque, Allysha Choudhury et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2019

    Pakistan has long held one of the highest rates in the world for mother and child mortality, albeit the leading causes of death are largely preventable. Unlike many other low and middle-income countries (LMIC), however, limited research has been conducted within conflict-ridden LMIC like Pakistan on health-seeking behavior. Even less is known about more developed localities within these nations. Between May and June 2016, a pre-tested cross-secti…

  • Determinants of early neonatal mortality in Afghanistan

    Open AccessGulam Muhammed Al Kibria, Vanessa Burrowes et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2018

    BACKGROUND: Neonatal mortality is declining slowly compared to under-five mortality in many developing countries including Afghanistan. About three-fourths of these deaths occur in the early neonatal period (i.e., the first week of life). Although a number of studies investigated determinants of early neonatal mortality in other countries, there is a lack of evidence regarding this in Afghanistan. This study investigated determinants of early neo…

  • Pregnancy Termination Intervals in a Rural Area of Bangladesh

    Open AccessJohn Stoeckel, A K M Alauddin Choudhury et al.ARTICLEDemography1974Citada por: 2Referencias: 14

    Pregnancy termination intervals, i.e., live birth to live birth (LB-LB), live birth to fetal loss (LB-FL), and fetal loss to live birth (FL-LB), are analyzed prospectively between 1966 and 1970 in a rural population (117,000) of Bangladesh. Results indicate that the mean LB-LB interval was almost 30 months, the LB-FL interval 27 months, and the FL-LB interval 18 months. In addition, postpartum amenorrhea was estimated to be about 13-14 months, an…

  • Seasonal variation in births in rural East Pakistan

    Open AccessJohn Stoeckel, A K M Alauddin Choudhury et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1972

    An analysis of the monthly distribution of births in two areas of Matlab Thana, East Pakistan, indicates that there is a seasonal variation in births different from what would be expected by chance. The highest proportion of births occur in the last three months of a year and the lowest proportion between May and July. Investigation into some of the environmental and social factors which might contribute to the seasonal pattern revealed the follo…
