The role of women's empowerment in the uptake of maternal health services in low- and middle-income countries
Background: Women's empowerment directly influences the quality and timeliness of the maternal health care they receive; a lack thereof, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), is likely to contribute to poor uptake of maternal healthcare. We aimed to evaluate the role of women's empowerment in maternal healthcare in LMICs. Methods: We used the recent Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data on 71 077 married/partnered women fro…
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
Joint decision on contraceptive use and determinant factors among married women of reproductive ages (15–49) in Ethiopia
In Ethiopia, the majority of contraceptive users are married, reproductive-age women, and their decision to use contraceptives is typically made jointly with their husbands or partners. Factors positively associated with joint decision-making on contraceptive use include women's educational level (primary, secondary, and higher), being Protestant, having a higher wealth status, and media exposure. Conversely, women living in communities with high…
What are the associated factors of low husbands/partners independent decision-maker in women’s contraceptive use decision-making process in Ethiopia? Multilevel analysis
In Ethiopia, the involvement of husbands/partners in the contraceptive use decision-making process is low. To increase their decision-making power, attention should be given to factors such as age, educational level, media exposure, history of pregnancy termination, distance to health facilities, and urban residency
Married Women Decision-Making Autonomy on Contraceptive Use in East Africa
The utilization of contraceptives depends on women's autonomy in making decisions. Limited and inconclusive information is available on women's decision-making autonomy to use contraceptives in East Africa. 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. …
Spatial distribution and associated factors of severe malnutrition among under-five children in Ethiopia
The prevalence of severe malnutrition in Ethiopia is relatively high as compared to other studies and most of them were severe chronic malnutrition. Having an educated mother/caregiver, and living in a cluster with high community women's education were preventive factors for severe malnutrition in children. Whereas having an unmarried mother/caregiver, old age of the child, plurality of birth, and having double children in the family have a posit…
An unacceptably high burden of anaemia and it’s predictors among young women (15–24 years) in low and middle income countries; set back to SDG progress
The unacceptably high burden of anaemia among young women setbacks the SDG target; to end all forms of malnutrition by 2030. Therefore, it is highly recommended to take relevant interventions to reduce the burden of anaemia targeted the young women who are uneducated, have low socio-economic status, limited access to health facilities, and lived in larger family size
Determinants of early discharge after birth among mothers delivered vaginally at health facilities
A substantial proportions of mothers in Ethiopia had been discharged early (before 24 h). Residence, education, wealth index, religion, marital status, ANC follow up, parity and size of the child were predictors of early discharge. Adequate hospital stay should be promoted. Since the early discharge in Ethiopia is very high, home based postnatal visit should be strengthened focusing the identified predictors
Sexually transmitted infections related care-seeking behavior and associated factors among reproductive age women in East Africa
sexually transmitted infections related care-seeking behavior is relatively low as compared with other studies.. This study revealed that individual-level variables such as women's age, educational status, household wealth index, pregnancy status, ever been tested for HIV, number of sexual partners, and community-level variables such as residence and distance from a health facility were associated with sexually transmitted infections related care…
Measles second dose vaccine utilization and associated factors among children aged 24–35 months in Sub-Saharan Africa, a multi-level analysis from recent DHS surveys
Measles-containing vaccine doses 2 utilization in Sub-Saharan Africa was relatively low. Individual-level factors and community-level factors were significantly associated with low measles-containing vaccine dose 2 utilization. The MCV2 utilization could be improved through public health intervention by targeting rural residents, children of uneducated mothers, economically poor women, and other significant factors this study revealed
Minimum acceptable diet intake and its associated factors among children age at 6–23 months in sub-Saharan Africa
Minimum acceptable diet intake in SSA is relatively low. Variables such as; secondary &above maternal education, having employed mother, exposure to media, richest wealth, breast feeding child, and upper middle income country have a significant positive association, whereas having plural birth and living in rural residence have a significant negative association with MAD intake. These findings highlight that policymakers and other stakeholders ha…
Community and individual level determinants and spatial distribution of deworming among preschool age children in Ethiopia
The prevalence of deworming among preschool age children in Ethiopia is relatively low. Individual-level factors such as; maternal education and occupation, having ANC visit, child age, household media exposure, and community-level variables such as; community media usage had a significant association with deworming among preschool age children in Ethiopia. These findings highlight that, the Ministry of Health (MOH) Ethiopia should prepare a regu…
Spatiotemporal distribution and determinants of delayed first antenatal care visit among reproductive age women in Ethiopia
In Ethiopia delayed first ANC visit was significantly varied across the country over time Women's education, wanted the last child, and residence were significantly associated with delayed first ANC booking. The effect of each predictor was found to be different across regions of Ethiopia. Therefore, a targeted intervention program is required in highly affected areas of Ethiopia
