Factors associated with HIV testing among young women in Tanzania: Insights from the 2022 Tanzanian Demographic and Health Survey using Anderson’s Behavioral Model
Background HIV continues to be a significant global health issue, particularly affecting sub-Saharan Africa, including Tanzania. Knowing one’s HIV status is a crucial first step in combating HIV/AIDS and achieving the targets set for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. However, despite ongoing efforts, HIV testing coverage remains low in developing countries, including Tanzania, where testing among young people poses particular chal…
From poverty to health: Intraurban inequalities in child health indicators in low-income and middle-income countries during the SDG era
INTRODUCTION: Urban areas are generally associated with better health outcomes. However, in many low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), rapid urbanisation has led to significant health disparities. These inequalities, especially those affecting the urban poor, are often overlooked in studies focused solely on rural-urban differences. This study aimed to assess the overall and country-specific intraurban inequalities in under-5 and neonat…
The prevalence and predictors of clinical breast cancer screening in Sub-Saharan African countries: A multilevel analysis of Demographic Health Survey
Background: Despite a higher rate of breast cancer in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), efforts to treat the disease through breast cancer screening are suboptimal, resulting in late diagnosis of breast cancer and poor outcomes. Several studies have been conducted in SSA countries about screening uptake, yet they addressed country or sub-country level data and did not consider both individual and beyond-individual factors related to screening. Hence, poo…
Second-line anti-retroviral treatment failure and its predictors among patients with HIV in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatment failure remains a major public health concern, with multidimensional consequences, including an increased risk of drug resistance, compromised quality of life, and high healthcare costs. However, little is known about the outcomes of second-line ART in Ethiopia. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the incidence and determinants of second-line ART treatment failure. Articles…
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 …
Teenage pregnancy and its associated factors in Kenya: A multilevel logistic regression analysis based on the recent 2022 Kenyan demographic and health survey
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…

Prevalence of tuberculosis among prisoners in sub-Saharan Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Knowledge, attitudes and prevention practices related to dog-mediated rabies in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational epidemiological studies from inception to 2023
Determinants of high-risk fertility behavior among women of reproductive age in Kenya: A multilevel analysis based on 2022 Kenyan demographic and health survey
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…
Incidence and predictors of opportunistic infections in adolescents and adults after the initiation of antiretroviral therapy: A 10-year retrospective cohort study in Ethiopia
Background Opportunistic infections (OIs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people living with the human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). However, there are few robust recent data on the rates of OIs and the risk factors that contribute to their occurrence. Therefore, the current study sought to determine the incidence of OIs and identify predictors among adolescents and adults after the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART)…
