Marital Structure and Children’s Nutritional Status in Sub-Saharan Africa
Flood experience and risk predictability paradox of households
The silent epidemic
NCD prevention in Zambia requires risk-stratified strategies: primary prevention for Intermediate-Risk groups and intensive intervention for High-Risk populations. Critical policy actions include taxing tobacco, alcohol, and unhealthy foods; expanding universal screening; integrating NCD care into primary health systems; and addressing urbanization, cultural practices, and healthcare disparities
Understanding food (In) security through land and livelihoods
Hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease nexus
BACKGROUND: Although hypertension and diabetes are known to increase cardiovascular disease risk, the influencing and underlying factors remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To examine the mediating effect of location of residence and the moderating effects of recommended lifestyle practices in the hypertension/diabetes and cardiovascular disease nexus. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data were drawn from 4,563 participants in Steps 1 and 2 of the 2020 World Health …
Energy and vulnerability
While recent policy agendas have extensively addressed both energy poverty and risky sexual behavior separately, little research has explored their intersection. This pioneering study investigates the relationship between energy deprivation and risky sexual behavior in female youth. Utilizing data from the Demographic and Health Survey in Ghana and employing robust methodologies, including the Lewbel two-stage regression and alternative energy de…
Women's empowerment, children's nutritional status, and the mediating role of household headship structure
We aimed to examine the association between women's empowerment and childhood nutritional status while accounting for the mediating role of household headship structure. Cross-country, cross-sectional quantitative data from the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys (2015-2018) were used. Women's empowerment was measured as a composite index of participation in household decision-making, attitude towards domestic violence, and asset ownership…
Use of any contraceptive method among women in rural communities in the eastern region of Ghana
The prevalence of any contraceptive use among rural women was low. Government and other stakeholders need to create awareness about contraception in the rural areas of Eastern region of Ghana and that would help increase contraceptive methods utilization. In addition, family planning programs should target migrants to design an intervention to increase contraceptive use in rural areas

Rural out-migration from Ghana's development zones and household food security
Food security and human migration are both major developmental issues for governments, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. However, scholarship on the links between rural out-migration and food insecurity remains ambiguous about migrants in their destination and lacks ample comparison with the place of origin. Using data from the nationally representative Ghana Living Standards Survey (Round 7), we employed multinomial logit functions to examine …
Profiling household double and triple burden of malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa
Objective: Undernutrition and anaemia (the commonest micronutrient deficiency), continue to remain prevalent and persistent in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) alongside a rising prevalence of overweight and obesity. However, there has been little research on the co-existence of all three conditions in the same household in recent years. The current study examines the co-existence and correlates of the different conditions of household burden of malnutri…
Being overweight and its association with risky sexual behaviour among female youth in Ghana
Correlates and spatial distribution of the co-occurrence of childhood anaemia and stunting in Ghana
Childhood anaemia and stunting are major public health concerns in Ghana. Using the 2014 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey, we evaluated whether childhood anaemia (Haemoglobin concentration < 110 g/L) and stunting (height-for-age z score < -2) co-occur beyond what is expected in Ghana, and employed spatial analysis techniques to determine if their co-occurrence is spatially correlated. There was no statistically significant difference between t…
Correlates of over- or under-estimation of body size among resource-poor urban dwellers in a sub-Saharan African city
Weight management interventions must be mindful of the socio-demographic and cultural proclivities of the targeted populace for optimum impact
