Development, public health, sewage, and frontline workers
This case study of Harar City, eastern Ethiopia, demonstrates that, while Ethiopia’s ambitious post-Millennium Declaration (Goal 7) sanitation agenda has produced both considered policies and a level of implementation, serious challenges remain, particularly regarding policy enforcement. Few data are available on the hazardous exposure levels faced by frontline sanitation workers in Ethiopia but, as we demonstrate, direct contact with untreated f…
Concentrations of DDT metabolites in different food items and public health risk in Africa regions
Occupational health risk perceptions and determinants
Introduction Occupational health risks (OHRs) perception refer to an individual’s subjective assessment of the likelihood and severity of potential health hazards within their workplace, which are influenced by their knowledge and attitude. The OHRs perceptions of sanitary workers (SWs) in Ethiopia have not yet been well studied. Therefore, this study aims to assess the knowledge and attitude of SWs about OHR perceptions and their determinants in…
Domestic water consumptions and associated factors in rural household of Harari region, Eastern Ethiopia; A cross sectional study
Background: Sustainable rural water supply management requires accurate estimations of water consumption and understanding factors influencing consumption. Climate change exacerbates challenges, especially in developing countries with high poverty and limited access to clean water. Ethiopia has the lowest municipal water supply in Africa. The residents of the Harar region currently get water once a week or two weeks for just a few hours, which is…
Open defecation practice among households with latrines in rural communities of Ararso District, Somali Region, Eastern Ethiopia
Background: Open defecation contributes to the spread of different feco-oral diseases. Therefore, access to a latrine is strongly recommended, as it considerably reduces the risks. Even though provision of latrine facilities alone does not guarantee the desired health benefits, they should be integrated with behavior change. In Ethiopia, efforts have been made to increase the coverage of latrine facilities. However, evidence on how consistently h…
Global prevalence of occupational injuries among sanitation workers
Co-occurrence of occupational outcomes and associated factors among hospitals cleaners, eastern ethiopia
The current study concluded that one-fourth of the co-occurrence of occupational outcomes was reported among hospital cleaners. The study also found that lack of supervision, workload, working more hours per a day, severely presence of occupational hazards, lack of regular job rotation, the sleeping disorders and having work stress all increased the odds of co-occurrence occupational outcome
Managing climate change challenges to water security
Climate change poses a threat to water security where both current and future generations are concerned, with its accompanying impacts set to be greater in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). As a result, questions pertaining to climate change adaption in LMICs are receiving increased attention from academics and policymakers alike. It is broadly accepted that top‐down approaches to developing resilience to climate change challenges have be…
Hand hygiene compliance and associated factor among nurses working in public hospitals of Hararghe zones, Oromia region, eastern Ethiopia
Background Healthcare workers are in constant contact with a wide variety of materials and surfaces, including waste, body fluids, mucous membranes, food, their own bodies, and the skin of patients. As a result, their hands are colonized by different groups of pathogens. Hand hygiene of healthcare workers is recognized to be the main factor in reducing healthcare-associated infections. Therefore, this study aimed to assess hand hygiene adherence …
Association of drinking water and environmental sanitation with diarrhea among under-five children
Background: Diarrhea remains one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity, despite the global progression of eradicating the burden of diarrhea-related morbidity and mortality in the past two decades. In Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, there is inadequate supply and sanitation of safe water. However, there is a lack of literature that estimates the impact of drinking water and sanitation service on childhood diarrhea in Kersa Demogra…
Hand washing practice among public primary school children and associated factors in Harar town, eastern Ethiopia
Background Hand washing with soap and water reduces the risk of diarrheal episode by 28–48% and acute respiratory infection by 20–50%. However, there is limited evidence on hand washing practices among students in Eastern Ethiopia, particularly in Harari town. Therefore, this study aimed to determine hand washing practice among primary school students and associated factors in Harar town, Eastern Ethiopia. Methods An institution-based cross-secti…
Trends and Associated Factors of Under-five Mortality Based on 2008–2016 Data in Kersa Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, Eastern Ethiopia
Background : Of the 6.2 million estimated deaths of children under 15 years of age globally, the death toll of children under 5 years of age accounted for 5.3 million. In Ethiopia, even though significant progress has been made, facility-based research shows that the mortality rate of children under 5 is still high. In the country, particularly in the eastern part, evidence on trends in under-five mortality and associated factors from population-…
Global burden of 87 risk factors in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019
BACKGROUND: Rigorous analysis of levels and trends in exposure to leading risk factors and quantification of their effect on human health are important to identify where public health is making progress and in which cases current efforts are inadequate. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019 provides a standardised and comprehensive assessment of the magnitude of risk factor exposure, relative risk, and attribu…
