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
Help-seeking behaviors and determinant factors among women exposed to intimate partner violence in East Africa based on recent demographic and health survey data

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…
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…
