Beyond theory
Over the last three decades, social capital has gained increasing attention in the development literature. However, despite its popularity, problems related to its definition, conceptualisation, and measurement have so far been limited. This study aims to measure teff-producing farmers’ social capital in the West Shoa Zone of Oromia, Ethiopia. The study developed composite indicators for assessing the structural, relational, and cognitive dimensi…
Preferences of women for maternal healthcare services in low-income and middle-income countries
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…

Socio-economic and spatial inequalities in animal sources of iron-rich foods consumption among children 6–23 months old in Ethiopia
Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common type of anaemia in young children which can lead to long-term health consequences such as reduced immunity, impaired cognitive development, and school performance. As children experience rapid growth, they require a greater supply of iron from iron-rich foods to support their development. In addition to the low consumption of iron-rich foods in low- and lower-middle-income countries, there are also regio…
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

Pooled prevalence and determinants of antenatal care visits in countries with high maternal mortality
Background Complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the leading causes of maternal and child deaths and disabilities, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Timely and frequent antenatal care prevents these burdens by promoting existing disease treatments, vaccination, iron supplementation, and HIV counseling and testing during pregnancy. Many factors could contribute to optimal ANC utilization remaining below targets in count…
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 …
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
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
