Multidimensional disparity in inadequate minimum dietary diversity between poor and non-poor children aged 6–23 months in Sub-Saharan Africa
Background: Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 aims to "end hunger, achieve food security, and improve nutrition" by 2030. However, the prevalence of inadequate Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) is on the rise in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Therefore, this study aimed to assess the disparities between multidimensional poor and non-poor households in terms of inadequate MDD among children aged 6 to 23 months in SSA, using data from the 2018-2023 Dem…
Time to first dose of measles-containing vaccine and associated factors among infants in Ethiopia
Introduction: The measles-containing vaccine (MCV) is a live attenuated vaccine that helps to develop lifelong immunity, and it prevents measles outbreak when administered at the right time in measles-endemic areas. Many infants received the initial dose of the measles vaccine later than the ideal time frame, and significant others missed the vaccination, causing a recurrent measles outbreak in Ethiopia. This study assessed the time to the first …
Residence-based disparities of composite index of anthropometric failures in East African under five children; multivariate decomposition analysis
The residence-based CIAF differences were high in all study countries. The rural-urban CIAF gap is ascribed by household, maternal and child characteristics. This result implies that rural children under-5 is disproportionally disadvantaged with respect to characteristics than their consequences. Through identification of the underlying factors behind the rural-urban CIAF disparities, the result of this study is important in planning effective in…
Application of the extended parallel process model to assess the predictors of physical exercise in preventing non-communicable diseases among civil servants in Ethiopia, a mixed-method study
This study found a lower proportion of civil servants engaged in preventive physical exercise for NCDs compared to previous studies. Self-efficacy and response efficacy were strong positive predictors of this adaptive behavior, whereas perceived threat severity was a significant negative predictor. Single civil servants showed higher exercise engagement than their married counterparts. Qualitative data revealed that protective behavior was driven…
The association between children’s exposure to pesticides and asthma, wheezing, and lower respiratory tract infections. A systematic review and meta-analysis
Individual and community-level factors of availability of observed water, soap, and other cleansing agents for hand washing practice in Ethiopia
Introduction: This study delves into individual and community-level factors influencing the availability of water, soap, and cleansing agents for handwashing in Ethiopia. Its comprehensive exploration offers nuanced insights, informing targeted interventions and policies to effectively enhance handwashing resources across Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess individual and community-level factors of availability of observed water, soap…
Measurement and decomposition of education-related inequality in exclusive breastfeeding practice among Ethiopian mothers
Background Human breast milk, a naturally balanced source of infant nutrition, promotes optimal growth and health when exclusively fed for 6 months. Exclusive breastfeeding reduces common childhood infections, provides protection against some chronic illnesses, and contributes to achieving several Sustainable Development Goals. Despite its benefits, only 58% of Ethiopian women practice it, and the associated education-related inequality is not we…
Rural-urban disparities in basic sanitation access among households
Introduction Disparities in access to basic sanitation services between rural and urban households pose significant challenges to public health and human development. Understanding the determinants contributing to this gap is vital for advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and improving environmental and public health through evidence-based interventions. Objective This study aims to analyze and understand the disparities in access t…
Urban–rural disparities in minimum acceptable diet intake among children aged 6–23 months in Ethiopia
Introduction: The achievement of the minimum acceptable diet intake (MAD) stands at 14% among urban and 10% among rural under-five children in Ethiopia. Consequently, identifying the determinants of the urban-rural gap is vital for advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), fostering healthier communities, and developing evidence-driven approaches to enhance health outcomes and address disparities. Objective: The objective of the study was t…
Exposure to indoor air pollution and adverse pregnancy outcomes in low and middle-income countries
Mapping and predicting open defecation in Ethiopia
The study revealed that open defecation at the household level in Ethiopia varies across the regions, with significant hotspots identified in Amhara, Afar, Harari, and parts of Dire Dawa. Geographically weighted regression analysis highlights male participants lacking media exposure as substantial predictors of open defecation. Targeted interventions in Ethiopia should improve media exposure among males in hotspot regions, tailored sanitation pro…
Educational inequalities and decomposition of the urban-rural disparities in maternal health care utilization in Ethiopia
The urban-rural disparity in antenatal care and delivery care utilization is significant in the country. There were educational inequalities in maternal health service utilization. Attending, Secondary, higher, educational levels widening antenatal care and institutional delivery care utilization. Living regions mitigated antenatal care utilization. Antenatal care utilization widening institutional delivery utilization. Special attention is neede…
Spatial distribution and determinants of Early sexual initiation in Ethiopia
The spatial distribution of early sexual initiation was clustered in Ethiopia. Interventions should be taken to eliminate the observed variation by mobilizing resources to high-risk areas. Policies and interventions targeted to this problem may also take the identified associated factors into account for better results
