Correlates of antenatal care visits among expectant mothers in Malawi
Despite recent improvements in antenatal care (ANC) coverage in sub-Saharan Africa, the timing and frequency of ANC visits remain inconsistent. This contributes to increased pregnancy-related complications among mothers in the region. This study utilised Poisson and Negative Binomial mixed regression with maximum likelihood estimation and generalized estimating equations (GEE) to analyse the factors associated with ANC visits among mothers in Mal…
Protective effect of voluntary medical male circumcision against sexually transmitted infections among adult men in Malawi
Background Voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) has been shown to effectively reduce the risk of contracting Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in men. However, its implementation in sub-Saharan Africa faces several challenges, including low awareness and persistent cultural myths, which contribute to low participation rates. To improve the understanding of this intervention, further empirica…
Analysis of outlier villages with high under-five mortality rates in Malawi using mixed-effects logistic regression model residuals
In regions burdened by significant disease and constrained resources, such as sub-Saharan Africa, identifying communities with particularly atypical public health outcomes can enhance the optimisation of available resources during interventions. It is essential to understand the specific characteristics of individuals contributing to these unusual health outcomes within the outlier communities to determine the most effective interventions. While …
Comparison of univariate and bivariate Poisson regression methods in the analysis of determinants of female schooling and fertility in Malawi
Recent research has established existence of a correlation between women's education and fertility, suggesting that they share similar risk factors. However, in many studies, the two variables were analysed separately, which could bias the conclusions by undermining the apparent correlations of such paired outcomes. In this article, the univariate and bivariate Poisson regression models were applied to nationally representative sample of 24,562 w…
Impact of ignoring sampling design in the prediction of binary health outcomes through logistic regression
The birth and death rates of a population are among the crucial vital statistics for socio-economic policy planning in any country. Since the under-five mortality rate is one of the indicators for monitoring the health of a population, it requires regular and accurate estimation. The national demographic and health survey data, that are readily available to the puplic, have become a means for answering most health-related questions among African …
