Building systems for preparedness
Public health emergencies remain a persistent threat to global health security, with the COVID-19 pandemic exposing critical weaknesses even in advanced health systems. National Public Health Agencies (NPHAs), particularly National Public Health Institutes (NPHIs), have emerged as central actors in coordinating preparedness and response functions. However, institutional maturity, financing, and subnational integration remain uneven, especially in…

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
Minimum meal frequency and associated factors among children aged 6–23 months in Sub-Saharan Africa
Background Worldwide, approximately half of all children are not provided the minimum meal frequency (MMF). Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) had the lowest proportion of children aged 6–23 months who met the requirements of the complementary feeding indicators, including MMF. Ensuring adequate meal frequency poses a challenge in numerous developing countries, particularly in regions characterized by low household food security, such as SSA. Therefore, th…
Healthcare-seeking behavior for diarrhea in under-five children and associated factors in sub-Saharan Africa
Background: Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of child death in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Children with diarrhea who do not receive medical advice or treatment are at high risk of poor health outcomes and increased mortality. Prompt and adequate treatment is essential to mitigate these risks. However, studies that have been conducted on the factors influencing healthcare-seeking behavior (HSB) for diarrhea in under-five children in SSA are sc…
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. …
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 …
Spatial variation and determinants of inappropriate complementary feeding practice and its effect on the undernutrition of infants and young children aged 6 to 23 months in Ethiopia by using the Ethio…
Background: Inappropriate complementary feeding practices (IACFPs) are major public health issues in Ethiopia, which usually result in stunting and becoming an intergenerational cycle. However, the spatial patterns and determinants of IACFP and its effect on undernutrition are not well understood in Ethiopia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the spatial patterns and determinants of IACFPs and their effects on the undernutrition of …
Individual and community-level determinants and spatial distribution of prenatal HIV test uptake in Ethiopia
Introduction: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing and counseling services are routine prenatal care services for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. Although the prevalence of HIV infection is high among women, evidence suggests that the uptake of HIV testing during prenatal services in Ethiopia is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate individual- and community-level determinants and the spatial dis…
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
Unimproved source of drinking water and its associated factors
Around one third of the Ethiopian population utilizes unimproved source of drinking water and it was distributed non-randomly across regions of Ethiopia. The age of the household head, wealth status of the household, residence, community poverty level, and community literacy level were found to be significantly associated with utilizing unimproved drinking water source. State authorities, non-governmental organizations and local health administra…
Pooled prevalence and determinants of informed choice of contraceptive methods among reproductive age women in Sub-Saharan Africa
Background Despite the commitments of the government to minimize unintended pregnancy, abortion, and unmet need for contraceptives, as per our search of the literature, there is no study on the pooled prevalence and determinants of informed choice of contraceptive methods in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the pooled prevalence and determinants of informed choice of contraceptive methods among reproductive-aged women in …
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…
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
