Abstract Objective To identify the determinants for enrollment decision in the community-based health insurance program among informal economic sector-engaged societies, North West Ethiopia. Method Unmatched case-control study was conducted on 148 cases (member-to-insurance) and 148 controls (not-member-to-insurance program) from September 1 to October 30,2016. To select the villages and households, stratified then simple random sampling method was employed respectively. The data were entered in to Epi-info version 7 and exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Descriptive statistics, bi-variable, and multi-variable logistic regression analyses were computed to describe the study objectives and identify the determinants of enrolment decision for the insurance program. Odds ratio at 95% CI was used to describe the association between the independent and outcome variables. Results A total of 296 respondents (148 cases and 148 controls) were employed. The mean age for both cases and controls were 42 ± 11.73 and 40 ± 11.37 years respectively. Majority of respondents were males (87.2% for cases and 79% for controls). Family size between 4 and 6 (AOR = 2.26; 95% CI: 1.04, 4.89), history of illness by household (AOR = 3.24; 95% CI: 1.68, 6.24), perceived amount of membership contribution was medium (AOR = 2.3; 95% CI: 1.23, 4.26), being married (AOR = 6; 95% CI:1.43, 10.18) and trust on program (AOR = 4.79; 95% CI: 2.40, 9.55) were independent determinants for increased enrollment decision in the community-based health insurance. While, being merchant (AOR = 0.07; 95% CI: 0.09, 0.6) decreased the enrollment decision. Conclusion Societies’ enrollment decision to community-based health insurance program was determined by demographic, social, economic and political factors. Households with large family sizes and farmers in the informal sector should be given maximal attention for intensifying enrollment decision in the insurance program.

Abstract Background The global burden of cancer continues to increase largely because of the aging and growth of the world population alongside an increasing adoption of cancer-causing behaviors. Hence, the purpose of this study was to identify determinants of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer among individuals who were diagnosed at Felegehiwot specialized hospital, North West Ethiopia, 2019.Methods An institution-based unmatched case-control study was conducted at Felegehiwot Specialized hospital from December 2018 up to June 2019. The sample size calculated using the two population proportion formula with 1:2 cases to control ratio. Then the final sample size was 486, (162cases and 324 controls). The simple random sampling method was employed to catch up with the estimated samples. The collected data entered into Epi-data 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Descriptive statistics were computed. Simple logistic analysis was run (at 95% CI and p-value < 0.05) to identify factors associated with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.Result: A total of 486 patients participated. Larger portion of cases (34%) and controls (35.2%) were in the age group of 46-60 years. About 90% of cases and 91% of controls were Orthodox Christian. Having monthly income of < 28 dollar [AOR=2.73; 95% CI (1.8, 4.2)], being male sex [AOR=1.8; 95% CI (1.2, 2.8)], ever had chemical exposure, [AOR=11.9; 95% CI (7.6, 18.8)], had no regular physical exercise [AOR=15.5, 95% CI (5.7, 42.3)] and having hypertension [AOR=0.03; 95% CI (0.005,0.2)], lung disease (COPD) [AOR=0.2; 95% CI (0.06, 0.7)], and other health problems [AOR=0.06; 95% CI (0.01, 0.2)] were the identified root causes for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.Conclusions Having low monthly income, being male sex, ever had chemical exposure, not engaged in regular physical exercise and being diabetic patient was at an increased risk for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

While, being merchant (AOR=0.07; 95% CI: 0.09, 0.6) decreased the enrolment decision. Conclusion: - Societies enrollment decision to community based health insurance program was determined by demographic, social, economic and political factors.
