Unveiling community-level factors
Background Eye care service utilization (ECSU) is vital for preventing and managing visual impairment, yet its uptake remains suboptimal in many low- and middle-income countries, including Ethiopia. Visual impairment imposes significant economic and social burdens, much of which is preventable with timely screening and treatment. Despite previous studies on ECSU, gaps remain in understanding individual- and community-level factors influencing its…
The effect of maternal high-risk fertility behavior on child nutritional status in Sub-Saharan Africa
Introduction: Maternal high-risk fertility behaviors (HRFBs) represent a multifaceted bio-demographic factor with profound implications for child health. Maternal HRFBs raise the risk of undernutrition in children under the age of five, rendering them more susceptible to stunting and wasting. When estimating the impact of HRFBs on child malnutrition using an observational study such as the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), it's important to co…
Modifiable risk factors for anemia among women of childbearing age in sub-saharan Africa (2015–2023)
In a cross-sectional study involving 21 SSA nations, we identified 5 modifiable risk factors associated with anemia among women of childbearing age in SSA. These factors should be a priority for policymakers when planning future interventions to address anemia in SSA's women's health
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…
Domestic violence and associated factors among pregnant women in sub-Saharan African countries from the recent demographic and health survey data
Introduction: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a human rights violation that often involves violence against women, which appears to be the most prevalent type of abuse. IPV is a global public health issue with major human rights violations. Pregnant women's IPV needs special consideration because of the possible harm that might happen to mothers and their fetuses. The enormous global public health issue of IPV affects physical, mental, and sex…
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…
High-risk fertility behaviors and associated factors among married reproductive-age women in sub-Saharan Africa
Background Although high-risk fertility behaviors are linked with poor maternal and child health outcomes, their prevalence remains higher in resource-limited countries and varies significantly by context. Evidence on the recent estimates of these fertility risks at the sub-Saharan Africa level is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the pooled prevalence of high-risk fertility behaviors and associated factors among married women in th…
Help-seeking behaviors and determinant factors among women exposed to intimate partner violence in East Africa based on recent demographic and health survey data
Approximately four out of 10 women were seeking help for intimate partner violence in East Africa. Husbands drinking alcohol, women's high educational status, and women having occupations were the factors that were associated with help-seeking behaviors against intimate partner violence
Factors associated with the co-utilization of oral rehydration solution and zinc for treating diarrhea among under-five children in 35 sub-saharan Africa countries
Only less than half of under-five children with diarrhea in SSA were treated with a combination of ORS and zinc. Thus, strengthening information dissemination through mass media, and community-level health education programs are important to scale up the utilization of the recommended combination treatment. Furthermore, increasing health insurance coverage, and establishing strategies to address the community with difficulty in accessing health f…
Factors associated with zero vegetable and fruit consumption among Tanzanian children
Child age, current breastfeeding status, maternal educational status, maternal employment status, father's educational status, household wealth index, sex of household, media exposure, and community poverty level were significantly associated with ZVF consumption. Efforts should focus on educating mothers about the early introduction of fruits and vegetables in children's diets, alongside supporting breastfeeding. Tailored economic empowerment in…
Comprehensive knowledge about HIV/Aids and associated factors among reproductive age women in Liberia
This study demonstrates that the prevalence of good comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge was relatively low among reproductive age women in Liberia. Hence, health practitioners and policymakers should strengthen HIV/AIDS sensitization programmes to increase women's knowledge about HIV/AIDS
Sexual violence against ever-married reproductive-age women in East Africa
Empowering girls and women through education reduces their vulnerability. Effective programs should prioritize workplace safety, financial independence, and robust legal protections against harassment and abuse. Raising awareness about the impact of alcohol abuse on relationships and the heightened risk of sexual violence is crucial. Moreover, enhancing access to support services and community networks, especially in rural areas, is essential for…
Factors associated with the use of antibiotics for children presenting with illnesses with fever and cough obtained from prescription and non-prescription sources
Only two-thirds of the antibiotics used for children under five who had fever and cough were prescribed from formal healthcare setting. Our findings underscore the significance of addressing healthcare disparities, improving access to qualified healthcare providers, promoting maternal education, and empowering mothers in healthcare decision-making to ensure appropriate antibiotic use in this vulnerable population. Further research and interventio…
Geospatial determinants and spatio-temporal variation of early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding in Ethiopia from 2011 to 2019, a multiscale geographically weighted regression an…
Despite the increase in both EIBF and EBF rates over time in Ethiopia, these rates still fall below the national target. To address this issue, the government should prioritize public health programs aimed at improving maternal healthcare service utilization and maternal education. It is essential to integrate facility-level services with community-level services to achieve optimal breastfeeding practices. Specifically, efforts should be made to …
Impact of partner alcohol use on intimate partner violence among reproductive-age women in East Africa Demographic and Health Survey
We conclude that partner alcohol use has a direct cause for intimate partner violence. Therefore, controlling partner alcohol consumption can reduce the burden of intimate partner violence
Teenage pregnancy and its associated factors in Kenya
Teenage pregnancy remains a critical public health issue in developing countries, significantly impacting maternal health. In Kenya, despite an expected decrease in teenage pregnancy rates from 18% in 2014 to 15% in 2022, evidence on its prevalence and associated factors is still limited. This study utilized data from the latest Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, analysing 6,390 participants through multilevel binary logistic regression. The fi…
Individual and Community-Level Determinants of Premarital Sexual Practice Among the Youth Population (15–24 Years) of Ethiopia
Determinants of high-risk fertility behavior among women of reproductive age in Kenya
As per the findings of our study, in Kenya a significant proportion of women has experienced HRFB. This is a matter of concern as it poses a significant challenge to the healthcare system. The high prevalence of HRFB indicates that there is an urgent need to take appropriate measures in order to mitigate its impact. The situation calls for a comprehensive and coordinated approach involving all stakeholders to address this issue effectively. It wo…
