    Open AccessMoses Festo Towongo, Enock Ngome et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Non-institutional deliveries in Uganda are shaped by a combination of individual and community-level factors, with clear spatial disparities. Policy interventions should prioritize expanding access to secondary education, improving the quality and reach of maternal healthcare services, enhancing infrastructure, and addressing socioeconomic inequalities to reduce non-institutional deliveries

  • Does economic growth reduce childhood stunting? A multicountry analysis of 89 Demographic and Health Surveys in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessSanni Yaya, Olalekan Abdulrahman Uthman et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    Background: There is mixed evidence and lack of consensus on the impact of economic development on stunting, and likewise there is a dearth of empirical studies on this relationship in the case of sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, this paper examines whether economic growth is associated with childhood stunting in low-income and middle-income sub-Saharan African countries. Methods: We analysed data from 89 Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between…

  • Socioeconomic inequalities in non-communicable disease risk factors in Botswana

    Open AccessMpho Keetile, K Navaneetham et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    Findings in this study indicate the need for concerted differential efforts to address the needs of the poor and non-poor in order to reduce NCD risk factor inequalities

  • Intimate Partner Violence and Contraceptive Use in India

    Open AccessWalter Forrest, Dharma Arunachalam et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2018

    Several studies report that women exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) are less likely to use contraception, but the evidence that violence consistently constrains contraceptive use is inconclusive. One plausible explanation for this ambiguity is that the effects of violence on contraceptive use depend on whether couples are likely to have conflicting attitudes to it. In particular, although some men may engage in violence to prevent their …

  • Political Boundary Versus Social Context

    Open AccessDharma Arunachalam, K Navaneetham et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2017

    Using data from India’s first (1992–93) and third (2005–06) National Family Health Surveys (NFHS-I and NFHS-III) this study examined the fertility differentials between major social groups and the extent to which these varied between states and over time. The analysis was based on a sample of 54,030 and 55,369 currently married women aged 15–34 in the NFHS-I and NFHS-III respectively. Reported parity and desired family size were used to assess va…

  • The impact of HIV antiretroviral treatment perception on risky sexual behaviour in Botswana

    Gobopamang Letamo, Mpho Keetile et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2017

    The aim of this article is to investigate the impact of ART perception on risky sexual behaviours in Botswana. Using binary logistic regression analysis controlling for individual characteristics, the results tend to support the hypothesis that ART misconceptions do not necessarily increase risky sexual behaviours. In particular, the study findings suggest the belief that ARVs cure HIV and AIDS and that people on ARVs should not always use condom…

  • Socio-economic inequalities in child health

    Open AccessWilliam Joe, Udaya S Mishra et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2009

    This paper analyses the Indian National Family Health Survey (2005-2006) data to present certain broad descriptive features of child health inequalities in India and their distribution across well-defined socio-economic groups classified by gender and sector-of-origin, and their dispersal across space. This study finds that poorer sections of the population are beleaguered with ill health whether in the quest for child survival or due to anxietie…

  • Inequalities in Childhood Malnutrition in India

    William Joe, U S Mishra et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Development2009Citada por: 3Referencias: 10

    This paper examines inequalities in child malnutrition in India through three distinct — although inter‐related — types of empirical analysis. First, it reports the socio‐economic inequalities in childhood malnutrition across different Indian states. Second, it decomposes the gap in malnutrition between children belonging to poor and non‐poor households to understand the disadvantageous distribution of health determinants and their effects. This …

  • Maternal Mortality in India

    P N Mari Bhat, K Navaneetham et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1995Citada por: 2

    This report outlines a new technique for the estimation of maternal mortality by relating the sex differentials in mortality for people of reproductive age to the age schedule of fertility. The application of this method to the data from the Sample Registration System for 1982-86 indicates a level of maternal mortality of 580 deaths per 100,000 live births for India as a whole, 638 deaths in rural areas, and 389 deaths in urban areas. Estimates d…
