  • Exposure to pro-tobacco and anti-tobacco media messages and events and smoking behaviour among adolescents in Gambia

    Open AccessI Y Addo, Evelyn Acquah et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    This study underscores the significant impact of exposure to both anti-tobacco and pro-tobacco media messages and events on smoking behaviour among adolescents in Gambia. However, pro-tobacco messages had a greater influence on smoking prevalence than anti-tobacco messages and events. Understanding these associations is crucial for devising effective public health interventions aimed at reducing tobacco use in this population

  • Spatial and multilevel analysis of unskilled birth attendance in Chad

    Open AccessEvelyn Acquah, Samuel H Nyarko et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Unskilled birth attendance is spatially clustered in some parts of Chad, and it is associated with various disadvantaged individual and community level factors. When developing interventions for unskilled birth attendance in Chad, concerned international bodies, the Chad government, maternal health advocates, and private stakeholders should consider targeting the high-risk local areas identified in this study

  • Young motherhood

    Open AccessSamuel H Nyarko, Lloyd Potter et al.ARTICLESN Social Sciences2021

    Adolescent fertility levels have shown considerable improvements globally over the past decades. However, adolescent childbearing remains high in developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. This study, thus, examines the levels and socioeconomic factors associated with adolescent fertility in Ghana. The study drew on data from the 2003, 2008, to the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys to perform a logistic regression analysis …

  • Machine learning algorithms for predicting undernutrition among under-five children in Ethiopia

    Open AccessFikrewold H Bitew, Corey S Sparks et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2021

    Objective: Child undernutrition is a global public health problem with serious implications. In this study, we estimate predictive algorithms for the determinants of childhood stunting by using various machine learning (ML) algorithms. Design: This study draws on data from the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey of 2016. Five ML algorithms including eXtreme gradient boosting, k-nearest neighbours (k-NN), random forest, neural network and the …

  • Levels and determinants of HIV testing uptake among Ghanaian men

    Samuel H Nyarko, Corey S SparksARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2020

    The uptake of HIV testing has always been found to be lower among men compared with women in many developing countries. The aim of this study was to ascertain the level and determinants of HIV testing uptake among men aged 15 to 59 in Ghana. This article was based on data from the 2003, 2008 and 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys. A bivariate statistical method was used to calculate the levels of uptake while three logit models were fitted…
