Inequalities in large‐scale breastfeeding programmes in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso and Vietnam
Inequalities in breastfeeding programmes and practices have slowed global progress in providing the life-saving protection of breastfeeding for millions of infants despite well-known life-long impacts. As breastfeeding interventions are scaled up, inequalities in coverage and breastfeeding practices should be tracked, particularly in disadvantaged groups, who are likely to suffer the most serious health and developmental impacts of poor childhood…
Inequality in iron and folic acid consumption and dietary diversity in pregnant women following exposure to maternal nutrition interventions in three low- and middle-income countries
Objective: Research is available on improved coverage and practices from several large-scale maternal nutrition programmes, but not much is known on change in inequalities. This study analyses wealth and education inequality using Erreygers and Concentration indices for four indicators: adequate iron and folic acid (IFA) consumption, women’s dietary diversity, and counselling on IFA and dietary diversity. Design: A pre-test–post-test, control gro…
Inequalities in adolescent girls’ nutrition, education, and health care in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, and Nigeria
Poor nutrition during adolescence can undermine current and future health, well-being, schooling, and productivity, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged girls. We analysed wealth and schooling-related inequalities among adolescent girls in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, and Nigeria. Using data from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), we calculated the Erreygers Index (EI) for low body mass index (BMI), anaemia, completed primary edu…
A decade of conditional cash transfer programs for reproductive health in India
Overall, the first decade of India's CCT programs saw an impressive reduction in EI for ID but less so for WI suggesting that the benefit of CCTs did not go disproportionately to the poor, which suggests that there is a need to reduce or eliminate the evident leakages. The improvement in uptake and inequality in ANC and PNC was not at par with ID, stressing the need to place greater focus on the continuum of care. The urban rural difference in HP…
Risk factors associated with the practice of child marriage among Roma girls in Serbia
BACKGROUND: Relatively little research on the issue of child marriage has been conducted in European countries where the overall prevalence of child marriage is relatively low, but relatively high among marginalized ethnic sub-groups. The purpose of this study is to assess the risk factors associated with the practice of child marriage among females living in Roma settlements in Serbia and among the general population and to explore the inter-rel…
Expansion in the private sector provision of institutional delivery services and horizontal equity
Wealth-related inequity in the use of maternal healthcare services continues to be a substantial problem in most low- and middle-income countries. One strategic approach to increase the use of appropriate maternal healthcare services is to encourage the expansion of the role of the private sector. However, critics of such an approach argue that increasing the role of the private sector will lead to increased inequity in the use of maternal health…
Association Between Child Marriage and Reproductive Health Outcomes and Service Utilization
Effect of an expansion in private sector provision of contraceptive supplies on horizontal inequity in modern contraceptive use
The study results do not offer support to the hypothesis that the increased role of the private commercial sector in the supply of contraceptive supplies led to increased inequity in modern contraceptive use
