Maternal factors promoting normal linear growth of children from impoverished Rwandan households
Maternal factors such as maternal income-generating activity, maternal participation in household decision making, and increased number of ANC visits were found to promote normal child linear growth. These results contribute valuable information to the formulation of interventions and policies to improve child nutrition and growth in the community studied
Prevalence and Correlates of Stunting among Children Aged 6–23 Months from Poor Households in Rwanda
Stunted linear growth continues to be a public health problem that overwhelms the entire world and, particularly, developing countries. Despite several interventions designed and implemented to reduce stunting, the rate of 33.1% is still high for the proposed target of 19% in 2024. This study investigated the prevalence and associated factors of stunting among children aged 6-23 months from poor households in Rwanda. A cross-sectional study was c…
(Non)Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes in South African Parenting Magazines
Although exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the first six months is optimal for child health, it remains low globally. Breastmilk substitutes (BMS) marketing undermines breastfeeding. In 2012, South Africa introduced Regulation 991, which prohibits marketing BMS products for infants below 6 months. Our study aimed to explore if and how BMS products were presented in South African parenting magazines post-R991. We applied a mixed-methods cross-sect…
Orphanhood, access to information and HIV knowledge among female adolescents in Malawi
Research on female orphans rarely explores their comprehensive HIV knowledge, which is a proximate factor for HIV vulnerability. Access to information generally is associated with higher HIV knowledge. Although emerging, but still limited, is research that accounts for broader community-level factors, such as the spatial distribution of HIV prevalence and orphanhood. This study explores if there is a relationship between individual orphanhood sta…
A South African university-practitioner partnership to strengthen capacity in social and behaviour change communication
Globally, communication plays an integral role in public health strategies, from infectious diseases to diseases related to lifestyles. The evolution of the field of social and behaviour change communication (SBCC), combined with the need for evidence based practice and multi-level interventions to promote health, and human resource gaps in sub-Saharan Africa have led to the imperative to standardise and formalise the field. Moreover, current pra…
