  • Potential Impact of Large‐Scale Food Fortification in Ethiopia

    Open AccessAregash Samuel, Ramadhani Noor et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025

    Large-scale food fortification (LSFF) is an effective public health measure because it may reach a large number of populations at risk using current food delivery systems. The objective of the study was to assess coverage and consumption of fortifiable foods at the household level and to assess the potential impact of LSFF on child outcomes (stunting and survival) in Ethiopia. Cross-sectional survey data on sociodemographic characteristics, dieta…

  • Predictors of prediabetes/diabetes and hypertension in Ethiopia

    Open AccessTom Norris, Meron Girma et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2022

    The objective of our study was to reanalyse the Ethiopia STEPwise approach to Surveillance Noncommunicable Disease Risk Factors survey (NCD STEPS), using causal path diagrams constructed using expert subject matter knowledge in conjunction with graphical model theory to map the underlying causal network of modifiable factors associated with prediabetes/diabetes and hypertension. We used data from the 2015 Ethiopia NCD STEPS representative cross-s…

  • Drivers of change in weight‐for‐height among children under 5 years of age in Ethiopia

    Open AccessMeron Girma, Alemayehu Hussein et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2022

    The prevention of wasting should be a public health priority as the global burden of acute malnutrition is still high. Gaps still exist in our understanding of context-specific risk factors and interventions that can be implemented to prevent acute malnutrition. We used data from the four rounds of the Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey (2000-2016) to identify risk factors that have contributed to the change in weight-for-height z-score (WHZ)…

  • Gender differences in nutritional status and determinants among infants (6–11 m)

    Open AccessAregash Samuel, Saskia Osendarp et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    In Ethiopia, boys are more malnourished than girls. Exclusive breastfeeding and adequate dietary diversity of complementary feeding are important determinants of stunting in boys and girls. There are no clear gender interactions for the main determinants of stunting and wasting. These findings suggest that appropriate gender-sensitive guidance on optimum infant and young child feeding practices is needed

  • Progress in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (Wash) coverage and potential contribution to the decline in diarrhea and stunting in Ethiopia

    Open AccessMeron Girma, Alemayehu Hussein et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2021

    Inadequate safe water supply and poor sanitation and hygiene continue to be important risk factors for diarrhoea and stunting globally. We used data from the four rounds of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey and applied the new World Health Organization (WHO)/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) service standards to assess progress in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) coverage between 2000 and 2016. We also performed an age-disaggreg…

  • Determinants of adherence to micronutrient powder use among young children in Ethiopia

    Open AccessAregash Samuel, Inge D Brouwer et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    In Ethiopia, home fortification of complementary foods with micronutrient powders (MNPs) was introduced in 2015 as a new approach to improve micronutrient intakes. The objective of this study was to assess factors associated with intake adherence and drivers for correct MNP use over time to inform scale-up of MNP interventions. Mixed methods including questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussions were used. Participants, 1,185 children (…

  • Pre‐pregnancy iodized salt improved children's cognitive development in randomized trial in Ethiopia

    Open AccessHusein Mohammed, Grace S Marquis et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    The overarching Ethiopia project examined the effects of early market introduction of iodized salt on the growth and mental development of young children. Sixty districts were randomly assigned to intervention (early market access to iodized salt) or control (later access through market forces), and one community per district was randomly chosen as the sampling unit. For this project, 22 of the districts were included. The participants were 1,220…

  • Coverage, compliance and factors associated with utilization of iron supplementation during pregnancy in eight rural districts of Ethiopia

    Open AccessSamson Gebremedhin, Aregash Samuel et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Promoting early and frequent ANC, enhancing the quality of ANC counseling and promoting the knowledge of women on anemia are essential strategies for improving the utilization of iron supplements
