  • Spatial variation of HIV testing and associated factors among pregnant women

    Open AccessMihret Getnet, Desalegn Anmut Bitew et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    The prevalence of HIV testing among pregnant women was lower than expected by Sustainable Development Goal's 3 targets. Hotspot analysis indicates that most western African countries were areas of low HIV testing. Both individual and community level factors were found to be associated with HIV testing uptake significantly. Therefore, giving special attention for pregnant women in hotspot areas of SSA could increase HIV testing uptake

Subsequently, community-based health insurance (CBHI) has gained interest in low and middle-income countries, such as Ethiopia. However, the rural–urban disparity in CBHI enrollment has not been properly investigated using multivariate decomposition analysis. Therefore, this study …

    Open AccessDagmawi Chilot, Daniel Gashaneh Belay et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Measles-containing vaccine doses 2 utilization in Sub-Saharan Africa was relatively low. Individual-level factors and community-level factors were significantly associated with low measles-containing vaccine dose 2 utilization. The MCV2 utilization could be improved through public health intervention by targeting rural residents, children of uneducated mothers, economically poor women, and other significant factors this study revealed
