Poor sleep quality and associated factors among HIV-positive and negative postpartum women in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Targeting disadvantaged late female adolescents in these countries through measures like women's economic empowerment and mass media awareness campaigns c…
Socioeconomic inequality in the co-occurrence of anemia and stunting among adolescent girls aged 15–19 years in Sub-Saharan African countries
In this study, there is a pro-poor inequality in the co-occurrence of anemia and stunting.

Decomposing socioeconomic and educational inequalities in infant mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa
Our analysis reveals that wealth-related disparities in infant mortality disproportionately impact poorer populations in Sub-Saharan Africa, with children of mothers who possess lower socioeconomic status and less education facing higher risks. Factors contributing to these disparities include family size, media exposure, and birth order. The persistence of social injustice is largely due to the inadequate response to these health inequalities. P…
Socioeconomic inequality in timing of ANC visit among pregnant women in Ethiopia, 2019
Background: Antenatal care (ANC) remains an invaluable approach to preventive care for ensuring maternal and infant health outcomes. Women in sub-Saharan Africa tend to delay their first antenatal care visits. In Ethiopia, only 20% of women received their first antenatal care during the first trimester of pregnancy. Timely and appropriate antenatal care practices can potentially save the lives of both mothers and children. Understanding socioecon…

Therefore, the main objective of this study was to assess married women's decision-making autonomy on contraceptive use and associated factors in East African countries. The most recent Demographic and Health Surveys were used for this study. …
Determinants of full immunization coverage among children 12–23 months of age from deviant mothers/caregivers in Ethiopia
Background Despite remarkable improvements in child health services utilization, childhood immunization has been poorly implemented in Ethiopia. However, evidence on the coverage of immunization among children from mothers/caregivers with no education (non-educated mothers were the most identified risk for underutilization of services) are scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the determinants of full immunization coverage among children …

Besides, expanding the service to remote areas are necessar…
