Socio-economic inequalities in minimum dietary diversity among Ethiopian children aged 6–23 months
Background: Globally, inappropriate feeding practices account for more than two-thirds of all cases of child mortality during the first 2 years of a child's life. For a long time, Ethiopia has suffered from the double burden of malnutrition: overnutrition and undernutrition both pose significant challenges, particularly for children. Undernutrition is mainly caused by wealth and educational disparities across the country. Therefore, this study ai…

This scoping review aims to summarise person-centred maternity healthcare in fragile and humanitarian contexts. METHODS: A scoping review of quantitative and/or qualitative approa…
Skilled birth attendance and its associated factors in Chad and Nigeria
In the year 2020, Worldwide, 211 maternal deaths occurred per 100,000 livebirths. In particular, Chad and Nigeria report extremely high (>1000) maternal mortality. Despite this, there has been limited research on skilled birth attendance (SBA) and its factors in Chad and Nigeria. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of SBA and associated factors among women of reproductive age in extremely high maternal mortality countries. This s…
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. Therefore, it's vital to step up initiatives that improve access to education for adolescent girls, supply of safe water, and boost the economic standing of their country to enhance the level of living status of the population
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…

Self-referral practice and associated factors among women who gave birth in South Gondar zone primary hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia
Background Patient self-referral is when patients refer themselves to upper-level health facilities without having to see anyone else first or without being told to refer themselves by another health professional. Self-referral leads to a diminished quality of healthcare services. However, globally, many women who gave birth referred themselves to hospitals without having referral sheets, including in Ethiopia and the study area. Therefore, this …
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 …

Prevalence of married women’s decision-making autonomy on contraceptive use and its associated factors in high fertility regions of Ethiopia
Women's decision-making autonomy on contraceptive use in this study was low. Age of mothers, educational status of mothers, age at first marriage, residence, religion, and community media exposure were significant factors. Therefore, the government should promote women's autonomy on contraceptive use as an essential component of reproductive health rights through mass media, educating, with particular attention for, youth women, and women living …
Predictors of desire to limit childbearing among reproductive age women in high fertility regions in Ethiopia. A multilevel mixed effect analysis
Nearly four in ten women had the desire to limit childbearing in high fertility regions in Ethiopia. Thus, to fulfill the women's desire to limit childbearing, Ministry of Health and health facilities are needed to increase financial support strategies and Family planning programs that enable pregnant women from poor households to use health services. In addition, increasing community level media exposure are important interventions
Multilevel analysis of early resumption of sexual intercourse among postpartum women in sub-Saharan Africa
The study revealed that more than two-thirds of the women had resumed sexual intercourse early after childbirth. Hence, the concerned bodies should strengthen the integration of postpartum education on sexual resumption with maternal, neonatal, and child health care services to reduce the early resumption of sexual intercourse. In addition, healthcare providers providing counseling on the resumption of postpartum sexual intercourse should focus o…
Intention to use contraceptives and its correlates among reproductive age women in selected high fertility sub-saharan Africa countries
The finding of the current study demonstrates that the intention of contraceptive use among reproductive age women in high fertility countries in SSA was relatively low as compared to previous studies. Thus, each national authority, especially in Chad and Gambia would be keen to know the level of contraceptive use intentions for their respective region, the drivers of contraceptive use intention and to map priorities for behavioral change. Any in…
