  • Comparison of under-five mortality for 2000, 2005 and 2011 surveys in Ethiopia

    Open AccessDawit Getnet Ayele, Temesgen Zewotir et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Based on the study, our findings confirmed that under-five mortality is a serious problem in the country. The analysis displayed that the hazard of under-five mortality has a decreasing pattern in years. The result for regions showed that there was an increase in years for some of the regions. This research work gives necessary information to device improved teaching for family planning and children health care to change the child mortality circu…

  • Spatial Distribution of Determinants of Malnutrition of Children under Five Years in Rwanda

    Open AccessFaustin Habyarimana, Temesgen Zewotir et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Ecology2016References: 4

    The main objective of this paper was to identify the risk factors of malnutrition among children under five years in Rwanda and produce the maps of prevalence of joint distribution of stunting, underweight and wasting. Each of these anthropometric indicators is categorized as malnourished (z-score -20). The spatial multivariate generalized linear mixed model is used to simultaneously identify the spatial distribution of risk factors of malnutriti…

  • Structured additive regression models with spatial correlation to estimate under-five mortality risk factors in Ethiopia

    Open AccessDawit Getnet Ayele, Temesgen Zewotir et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    The model enables simultaneous modeling of possible nonlinear effects of covariates, spatial correlation and heterogeneity. Our findings are relevant because the identified risk factors can be used to provide priority areas for intervention activities by the government to combat under-five mortality in Ethiopia

  • Using Rasch Modeling to Re-Evaluate Rapid Malaria Diagnosis Test Analyses

    Open AccessDawit Getnet Ayele, Temesgen Zewotir et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2014

    The objective of this study was to demonstrate the use of the Rasch model by assessing the appropriateness of the demographic, social-economic and geographic factors in providing a total score in malaria RDT in accordance with the model's expectations. The baseline malaria indicator survey was conducted in Amhara, Oromiya and Southern Nation Nationalities and People (SNNP) regions of Ethiopia by The Carter Center in 2007. The result shows high re…

  • Semiparametric models for malaria rapid diagnosis test result

    Open AccessDawit Getnet Ayele, Temesgen Zewotir et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    The result of the analysis identifies poor socio-economic conditions as a major contributing factor or determinant for the spread of malaria. With the correct use of mosquito nets, indoor residual spraying with insecticide and other preventative measures, the incidence of malaria could be decreased. In addition, improving housing conditions is a means to reduce the risk of malaria. Other measures such as creating awareness of the use of mosquito …
