Incidence of severe maternal outcomes following armed conflict in East Gojjam zone, Amhara region, Ethiopia
Background: Severe maternal outcome (SMO) encompasses women who survive life-threatening conditions either by chance or due to treatment quality, or who die. This concept assumes that severe maternal morbidity predicts mortality risk, enabling the analysis of risk factors for life-threatening outcomes and improving our understanding on the causes of maternal death. This study aims to determine the incidence of SMO and its leading causes in East G…
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
Multilevel analysis of discrimination of people living with HIV/Aids and associated factors in Ghana
Introduction: The negative effects of stigma and discrimination in communities and families include medication non-adherence, heightened psychological distress, verbal and physical abuse, a lack of social support, isolation, and dangerous health behaviors such as hiding prescriptions. Despite the huge burden of HIV/AIDS discriminatory attitudes, limited studies were conducted in Ghana. Therefore, this study examines the burden of discriminatory a…
Machine learning algorithms to predict healthcare-seeking behaviors of mothers for acute respiratory infections and their determinants among children under five in sub-Saharan Africa
Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are the leading cause of death in children under the age of 5 globally. Maternal healthcare-seeking behavior may help minimize mortality associated with ARIs since they make decisions about the kind and frequency of healthcare services for their children. Therefore, this study aimed to predict the absence of maternal healthcare-seeking behavior and identify its associated factors among children unde…
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…
Predicting the individualized risk of human immunodeficiency virus infection among sexually active women in Ethiopia using a nomogram
Introduction: Women are more vulnerable to HIV infection due to biological and socioeconomic reasons. Developing a predictive model for these vulnerable populations to estimate individualized risk for HIV infection is relevant for targeted preventive interventions. The objective of the study was to develop and validate a risk prediction model that allows easy estimations of HIV infection risk among sexually active women in Ethiopia. Methods: Data…
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 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…
Multilevel analysis of intimate partner violence and associated factors among reproductive-age women
The prevalence of intimate partner violence was high. Educating women, reducing partner alcohol use, and improving the economic status of women, were crucial in mitigating the burden of intimate partner violence. The intimate partners are supposed to respect the rights of women
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…
