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…
The association between children’s exposure to pesticides and asthma, wheezing, and lower respiratory tract infections. A systematic review and meta-analysis
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
Antenatal Depressive Symptoms and Its Associated Factors Among Pregnant Women in Northeast, Ethiopia
Antenatal depression is of utmost concern to public health due to its potential to negatively impact both mother and child health. Less research has been done on it, and it is not receiving enough attention in the study area. This study aimed to assess the magnitude of antenatal depressive symptoms and its associated factors among pregnant mothers in Dessie City administration, Ethiopia. From March 1 to 30, 2021, a cross-sectional study was condu…
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…
Availability of adequately iodized salt at household level in Dessie and Combolcha Towns, South Wollo, Ethiopia
Availability of adequately iodized salt at the household level in the study area was low. There should be regular quality control and regulatory enforcement of salt iodization at production, labeling and packaging sites of small scale industries and at household level
