The wealth gradient in diarrhoea, acute respiratory infections, and malaria in childhood over time
BACKGROUND: While the prevalence of childhood diseases and related mortality have been decreasing over the past decades, progress has been unequally distributed. The poorest households often carry the highest disease burden. As morbidity and mortality also decline most slowly among children of the poorest households, socioeconomic status may become a more relevant risk factor for childhood diseases. METHODS: We analysed the association between so…
Prevalence of diarrhoea, acute respiratory infections, and malaria over time (1995-2017)
BACKGOUND: The global community recognizes the urgent need to end preventable child deaths, making it an essential part of the third Sustainable Development Goal. Pneumonia, diarrhoea, and malaria still remain the leading causes of deaths among children under five years, especially in one of the poorest geographic regions of the world - West and Central Africa. This region carries a disproportionately high share of the global burden, both in term…
Socio-economic predictors of undernutrition and anaemia in adolescent mothers in West and Central Africa
BACKGROUND: Adolescence is a formative period when an individual acquires physical, cognitive, emotional, and social resources that are the foundation for later life, health, and well-being [1]. However, in West and Central African region, this trajectory is curtailed by early childbearing associated with an increased risk of undernutrition and anemia. Evidence on socio-economic determinants of anemia and undernutrition in adolescent mothers is l…
Health-care seeking for childhood diseases by parental age in Western and Central Africa between 1995 and 2017
BACKGROUND: Globally, health care seeking for childhood diseases seems to be on the rise. However, progress is slow and still, many cases of infectious diseases in children remain untreated, leading to preventable child mortality. A better understanding of care seeking behaviour may help to further increase the probability that a sick child is taken to a health facility for care. METHODS: We investigated whether mother's and father's age at birth…
Strengthening the community health program in Liberia
BACKGROUND: Arising from the Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak, the 2015-2021 Investment Plan aimed to improve the health status of the Liberian population through building a resilient health system that contributes to achieving equitable health outcomes. Recognizing the significance of community participation in overcoming the EVD outbreak, strengthening community systems emerged as one of the most important strategies for bridging the gap in a…
Basic maternal health care coverage among adolescents in 22 sub-Saharan African countries with high adolescent birth rate
Consensus building around nutrition lessons from the 2014–16 Ebola virus disease outbreak in Guinea and Sierra Leone
There are important lessons learned from the 2014-16 Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa. However, there has not been a systematic documentation of nutrition lessons specifically. Therefore, this study sought to generate multiple stakeholder perspectives for understanding the nutrition challenges faced during the Ebola virus disease outbreak, as well as for consensus building around improved response strategies. Participatory workshops wi…
The Importance of Parental Beliefs and Support for Physical Activity and Body Weights of Children
Do improvements in outreach, clinical, and family and community-based services predict improvements in child survival? An analysis of serial cross-sectional national surveys
Our findings support the importance of increasing access to clinical services, certain outreach services and breastfeeding and, in Africa, of improving nutritional status. Integrated programs that emphasize these services may lead to substantial mortality declines
Should public health interventions aimed at reducing childhood overweight and obesity be gender-focused
Our findings confirm the existence of gender differences in physical activity and nutrition, and support gender-focused health promotion whereby priority is given to physical activity among girls and to healthy eating among boys
Neighborhood determinants of self-efficacy, physical activity, and body weights among Canadian children
Geographic Differences in Childhood Overweight, Physical Activity, Nutrition and Neighbourhood Facilities
