Abstract Background Adolescent pregnancy carries a high risk of severe health issues for both the mother and the newborn. Worldwide, 21 million adolescents give birth every year, with high percentages in Latin America. Most of the risk factors are met in indigenous communities, which is an underrepresented and poorly studied population. We aimed to assess the determinants of adolescent pregnancy in indigenous communities from the Peruvian central jungle. Methods Through a case–control study, female adolescents aged 13 to 19 years old from seven indigenous communities of the Peruvian central jungle were interviewed. Adolescents with (cases) and with no (controls) pregnancy history, such as current pregnancy, children and abortion, fulfilled our eligible criteria. Our instrument explored: sociodemographic, adolescent and family characteristics, as well as perceptions of adolescent pregnancy. We performed a penalized maximum likelihood logistic regression analysis to obtain Odds Ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results We enrolled 34 cases and 107 controls. Overall, 53.9% were 15 to 19 years old. We found a significant association of being 15–19 years old (OR = 6.88, 95% CI 2.38–19.86, p < 0.0001) and an elementary school level of instruction (OR = 5.59, 95% CI 1.95–16.06, p = 0.001) with the risk of adolescent pregnancy. A marginal statistical significance between having five to six siblings and adolescent pregnancy was also reported (OR = 2.70, 95% CI 0.85–8.61, p = 0.094). Furthermore, adolescents with sexual and reproductive health communication with parents had a lower risk of adolescent pregnancy (OR = 0.17, 95% CI 0.06–0.47, p = 0.001). Conclusion Our results suggest that public health and educational efforts should be age-specific focused within indigenous communities of the Peruvian central jungle, encouraging parents to talk about sexual and reproductive health topics with adolescents.

It is commonly believed that patients with agoraphobia have suffered more frequently from aberrant family experiences in childhood. Some authors have described an excess of parental deprivation and others have incriminated parental overprotectiveness. Recent studies have failed to confirm these impressions but, instead, find that agoraphobic patients recall deficits in parental warmth and care during their early years. This report of a Sydney case-control study adds support to the view that parental overprotectiveness in isolation is unlikely to place the child at greater risk of developing agoraphobia in the future. Only when the child experiences a sense of parental neglect and lack of care, either alone or in combination with overprotection, does the risk of agoraphobia in adulthood appear to be increased.

Abstract Background: Obstetric fistula is major public and reproductive health concerns in Ethiopia .It are most disturbing among all maternal morbidities.Method: A community-based unmatched case control study was conducted from the EDHS, 2016 dataset. All 70 cases and 210 non cases were selected using random number table from the dataset. Reproductive age mothers who had experiencing lifelong obstetric fistula were considered as cases .Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with obstetric fistula at 95% confidence interval. Factors significant at p value of ≤ 0.05 were included into multivariable logistic regression model to generate adjusted odds ratios.Results: The majority of fistula cases were from rural residences. Independent risk factors associated with obstetric fistula included age at first marriage, rural residence, poorest wealth index and decision making for contraceptive use mainly husband partner.ConclusionObstetric fistula is a major public and reproductive health concern in Ethiopia. Majority of women with obstetric fistula were from rural areas. Comprehensive intervention strategies should be in place customized to different government hierarchies (national, regional and district level) including household and individual level interventions for combating obstetric fistula by giving an emphasis on the identified risks.
