The effect of health education on hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cervical cancer screening service utilization among eligible adults in a district around Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia
Health education intervention through parent-teacher association members was an effective approach to improve screening service utilization. This study suggests to use parent-teacher association members to promote screening service utilization through the existing social structures. The trial was registered in Clinical Trials.gov (NCT06639412)
Barriers and facilitators of visceral leishmaniasis case management in the Amhara Region, Northwest Ethiopia
Despite the existence of certain efforts that facilitate the program's effectiveness, VL remains largely neglected, with little government attention or intervention. Such inattention is the root cause of most of the issues. Despite limited resources, most issues could be resolved with cost-effective strategies if health authorities at all levels have the will and commitment to do so
Marital dissolution and associated factors in Hosanna, Southwest Ethiopia
In this study, the prevalence of marital dissolution was high. The participant's level of education and the primary reasons (motives) why they getting married were significantly associated with marital dissolution. Therefore, an integrated, community-based approach should be developed to prevent marital dissolution
Longitudinal functional status trajectories and its predictors among postpartum women with and without maternal morbidities in Northwest Ethiopia
INTRODUCTION: Unlike physiological recovery, return to full functional status following childbirth takes longer than 6 weeks (42 days) of the traditionally defined postnatal period, and women with maternal morbidity usually require a longer period to recover. However, the extent to which this morbidity collectively impacts on women's functional status is not well investigated in Ethiopia. We aim to determine the distinct trajectories and predicto…
Socio-cultural context of adolescent sexuality and youth friendly service intervention in West Gojjam Zone, Northwest Ethiopia
The socio-cultural norms influencing adolescent sexual behaviour were more or less the same between settings. In both areas, the socio-cultural context discourages YFS intervention like SRH communication and service use. Also, the YFS program does not modify the socio-cultural norm affecting adolescent sexuality. Therefore, the YFS interventions strategies should give due emphasis to the socially accepted sexual norms like sexual abstinence
Prevalence and risk factors of acute lower respiratory infection among children living in biomass fuel using households
High prevalence of childhood acute lower respiratory infection was demonstrated by this study and it was found to be associated with household ventilation, cooking technology, and behavioral factors. Therefore, we recommend a transition in household ventilation, cooking technologies as well as in child handling and in the peculiar local extra indoor burning practices
Assessment of utilization of provider-initiated HIV testing and counseling as an intervention for prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV and associated factors among pregnant women in Gonda…
Utilization of provider-initiated HIV testing and counseling during antenatal care was relatively high among pregnant women in Gondar town. Couple counseling and HIV testing should be strengthened to promote provider-initiated HIV testing and counseling among male partners and to reduce HIV related violence of women from their partner and access to and consistent use of antenatal care should be improved to increase the uptake of provider-initiate…
Differentials of fertility in North and South Gondar zones, northwest Ethiopia
Female education beyond the primary level, reduced infant and child mortality, delayed marriage and correct knowledge on the safe period during the menstrual cycle were amongst the main factors that had a bearing on high fertility
