In Ghana, malaria is endemic and perennial, with distinct seasonal fluctuations in the northern part. Children aged below five years are among the population most vulnerable to malaria in Ghana. This study’s goal is to establish how suspected malaria cases, tested malaria case…

Effects of Ethnicity on the Onset of Parenthood in a Developing Country
Ethnicity has profound implications for the study of demographic processes in subSaharan Africa. Consequently, researchers have investigated the links between ethnic identity and a host of demographic characteristics in this part of the world. Missing in this discussion is the association between ethnicity and age at first birth. In many African countries characterized by low age at first marriage and low contraceptive use, the age at which women…
Religious Affiliation, Marital Processes and Women's Educational Attainment in a Developing Society
This study uses data from the 1993/94 Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS) to explore the interrelationship between religious affiliation and women's educational attainment in one developing country - Ghana. To capture the interplay between state, religion and female educational achievement, logistic regression techniques were employed to assess whether religion influenced the acquisition of some education among women born during three different …
Determinants of Use of Maternal–child Health Services in Rural Ghana
This study uses data from the Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS) of 1993 to examine factors determining the use of maternal–child health (MCH) services in rural Ghana. The MCH services under study are: (1) use of a doctor for prenatal care; (2) soliciting four or more antenatal check-ups; (3) place of delivery; (4) participation in family planning. Bivariate and multivariate techniques are employed in the analyses. The analyses reveal tha…
Religious Affiliation and Sexual Initiation among Ghanaian Women
Ethnicity and Contraceptive Use in Sub-Saharan Africa
Using a sub-sample of ever-married women from the 1993 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS), this study examines differentials in contraceptive use in six cultural groups: Ga-Adangbe, Twi, Fante/other Akans, Ewe, Guan/others and Mole-Dagbani. Multivariate analysis is used to explore whether reported ethnic differentials in contraceptive use can be attributed to ethnicity or to other characteristics that distinguish the ethnic groups. Overal…
Ethnicity and sexual behavior in Ghana
Using data from the 1993 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey, this study explores the relationship between ethnicity and sexual behavior: having sex before age 17 and premarital sexual experience. All ethnic groups show substantial sexual experience before age 17 and premarital sexual engagement. Logistic regression analyses reveal that in general ethnicity influences the behaviors studied, especially for ever-married women. The data suggest that…
Does Religion Matter in Contraceptive Use among Ghanaian Women
Structural Assimilation and Ethnic Fertility in Ghana
This study explores the relative importance of socioeconomic and cthnic/cultural factors on possible convergence in reproduction among four and residual Ghanaian ethnic groups. Two views on differences in ethnic fertility have emerged in the literature. The first is the characteristics assimilation thesis which is based on the premise that when socioeconomic and demographic differences between social groups are statistically controlled, their fer…
