“Be explicit to be educated”: Using thematic analysis and co-design to investigate and understand sexuality education in Australian high schools
Short birth interval in the Asia-Pacific region: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Fertility knowledge in a cohort of Australia’s adolescents: A cross-sectional study of reproductive and sexual health education
Fertility information is an important component of comprehensive sexuality education, but the extent to which adolescents are taught or informed about fertility is unknown in Australia. This study examined knowledge of fertility using an anonymous, online survey of > 2,600 adolescents aged 15–18 across Australia. Respondents represented diverse backgrounds, including sexuality and gender diversity (>60% identifying other than heterosexual, 17% ge…
Prevalence and Correlates of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (Wash) and Spatial Distribution of Unimproved Wash in Nepal
This study aims to estimate the prevalence and correlation of household levels of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), including the identification of areas where WASH facilities are unimproved in Nepal. The study population was 11,040 household heads, using the data collected in the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2016. Logistic regression analysis was performed and crude odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using a 0.05 sig…
A Women’s Rights-Based Approach to Reducing Child Mortality: Data from 193 Countries Show that Gender Equality does Affect Under-five Child Mortality
Gender equality was significantly associated with U5MR (Z = - 7.47, 95% CI = - 754.67 to - 440.98, p < 0‧001, n = 193 for Model 1, and Z = - 7.71, 95% CI = - 808.26 to - 480.72, p < 0‧001, n = 158 for Model 2). Female education, women's waged and salaried employment, women as employers, and women's representation in leadership and parliament enhanced gender equality, whereas the prevalence of child marriage and intimate partner violence (IPV) neg…
E‐cigarette use and cigarette smoking initiation among Australian women who have never smoked
The Association between the Five-Minute Apgar Score and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes among Children Aged 8−66 Months in Australia
This study aimed to evaluate the association of the five-minute Apgar score and neurodevelopmental outcomes in children by taking the entire range of Apgar scores into account. Data from the Australian Longitudinal Study of Women's Health (ALSWH) and Mothers and their Children's Health (MatCH) study were linked with Australian state-based Perinatal Data Collections (PDCs) for 809 children aged 8-66 months old. Generalized estimating equations wer…
Population attributable fraction estimates for factors associated with different types of anaemia among women in Ethiopia: Multilevel multinomial analysis
Objective: This study aimed to identify factors for different levels of anaemia among Ethiopian women and to estimate the population attributable fraction (PAF). Design: This study was a detailed analysis of data of the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data. Adjusted OR (AOR) with 95 % CI was computed using multilevel multinomial regression models, and the PAF were estimated using these AOR. Setting: This study was conducted in Ethiop…
Air Pollution Increases Depression Risk Among Young Women: Possible Natural World Resiliencies
Air pollution may contribute to depression risk, but prospective incidence studies of risks and resiliencies for young women have not been undertaken. We analyzed prospective cohort data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health combined with air pollution exposure data from the National Pollutant Inventory. We followed 7804 women without baseline depression who were aged 21–26 years at baseline for up to 14 years. Cox proportional…
Gender-Based Violence Perpetration by Male High School Students in Eastern Ethiopia
Gender-based violence (GBV) perpetration is a global public health problem due to its detrimental effect on health and education. This study aims to determine the prevalence of gender-based violence perpetration by male students in eastern Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study was conducted in eastern Ethiopia in December 2018. A total of 1064 male students were involved in the study. Data were collected using an adaptation of the WHO Multi-Country S…
The mediation effect of contraceptive use and women’s autonomy on the relationship between intimate partner violence and unintended pregnancy in Ethiopia
Women's autonomy appears to play a significant role in mediating the effect of IPV on unintended pregnancy in Ethiopia. Maternal health service interventions in Ethiopia could incorporate measures to improve women's decision-making power to reduce the negative reproductive health effects of IPV
Socioeconomic inequality in short birth interval in Ethiopia: A decomposition analysis
There was a pro-poor inequality of short birth interval in Ethiopia. Strengthening the implementation of poverty alleviation programs may improve the population's socioeconomic status and reduce the associated inequality in short birth interval
Maternal dietary patterns and risk of adverse pregnancy (hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus) and birth (preterm birth and low birth weight) outcomes: A systematic re…
Objective Epidemiological studies have indicated that dietary patterns during pregnancy are associated with adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW). However, the results of these studies are varied and inconsistent. The present study aimed to assess the association between dietary patterns and the risk of adverse pre…
Rates and Predictors of Caesarean Section for First and Second Births: A Prospective Cohort of Australian Women
Disparities in reported psychosocial assessment across public and private maternity settings: A national survey of women in Australia
This study provides an important insight into the reported overall penetration of and access to perinatal psychosocial assessment among a sample of women in Australia. Opportunities to minimise the current shortfall in assessment rates, particularly in the private sector, and for ongoing monitoring of assessment activity at a national level are discussed
