Utilization of Postnatal Care Among Nepalese Women
Socio-economic differences in adolescents’ breakfast eating, fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity in Ghana
Objective Few studies have investigated the association between adolescents’ socio-economic status (SES) and health behaviours in developing countries. Socio-economic differences in breakfast eating, fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity were investigated among Ghanaian adolescents. Design A school-based survey of 12–18-year-olds ( n 1195, response rate 89·7 %) was conducted in 2008. Logistic regression analyses were applied to st…
Sleep and Its Association With Socioeconomic Status, Health, and Risky Behaviors Among G hanaian School Children
Socioeconomic differences in sleep and how sleep relates to health and risky behaviors among 12‐ to 18‐year‐old Ghanaians ( N = 1,195) were investigated. Overall, 49.2% of boys and 60.8% of girls had inadequate sleep. Girls ( OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.3–2.0) and older (16‐ to 18‐year‐olds) adolescents ( OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.3–2.1) had higher probability of inadequate sleep than boys and younger (12‐ to 15‐year‐old) adolescents, respectively. High mate…
Factors associated with reproductive health care utilization among Ghanaian women
BACKGROUND: This study investigates factors determining the timing of antenatal care (ANC) visit and the type of delivery assistant present during delivery among a national representative sample of Ghanaian women. METHOD: Data for the study was drawn from the women questionnaire (N=4,916) of the 2008 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey among 15-49-years-old women. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore factors determining t…
The role of tobacco promoting and restraining factors in smoking intentions among Ghanaian youth
These findings underscore the importance of school smoking policy, parental smoking behaviour and knowledge of the harmful effects of tobacco use in determining Ghanaian youths' future smoking intentions. Because current high percentages of smoking intentions may turn into high smoking rates in the future, the introduction of effective tobacco control measures at all levels of society to prevent youth smoking in Ghana may be essential
Substance use and risky sexual behaviours among sexually experienced Ghanaian youth
Substance use seems to be a gateway for risky sexual behaviours among Ghanaian youth. Public health interventions should take into account the likelihood of substance use among sexually experienced youth
Do socioeconomic differences in tobacco use exist also in developing countries? A study of Ghanaian adolescents
Similar to Western countries, lower SES is related to an adolescent's tobacco use also in developing countries. Cumulative socioeconomic disadvantage over generations increases the probability of tobacco use
