Full Immunization

Abstract Background: Immunization program has become the most effective public health measure for the controlling of vaccine-preventable disease among children. Globally, immunization coverage is increasing, however, 19.4 million infants not vaccinated in 2015. Ethiopia is one of the Sub-Saharan African countries with a high number of children unimmunized. Although there are studies about immunization among children, there is a dearth of information about factors associated with full immunization. Therefore, this analysis was performed to identify factors associated with full immunization among children aged 12-23 months in Ethiopia. Methods : The analysis was done based on the 2016 Ethiopian Demography and Health Survey data. The 2016 Ethiopian Demography and Health Survey was a community based, cross-sectional study conducted from January 18, 2016, to June 27, 2016. The survey used a two-stage stratified random sampling technique. A total of 2004 children aged 12-23 months were included in the analysis. Both descriptive and logistic regression analyses were performed using STATA. A P-value less than or equal to 0.05 at 95% confidence interval was set to test statistical significance. Result: Fully immunization coverage among children was 38.6%. Born at a health facility, living in Dire Dewa city, source of information from the card, mothers’ educational level (primary and secondary plus), and marital status (married and formerly married) were found positively associated with full immunization. On the other hand, smoking history of mothers and living in Afar, Amhara, Somalia, Gambella, and Oromia regions were negatively associated with full immunization. Conclusion: Fully immunization coverage among children was low. Children who were born at a health facility, source of information from the card, living Dire Dewa city, and whose mothers’ literate and married had higher Odds of being fully immunized. On the other hand, children whose mothers’ had a history of smoking and living Afar, Somalia, Gambella, Amhara and Oromia regions were had lower Odds of being fully immunized. Therefore strengthening institutional delivery and keeping immunization cards should be strengthened, and more emphasis should be given to children whose mothers’ illiterate, never married, smoker and living in Afar, Amhara, Somali, Gambella, and Oromia regions.

Background:Anemia is an important public health problem affecting all age groups of the population. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with anemia among women of childbearing age in Rwanda and map their spatial variation.Methods:The 2014/15 Rwanda Demographic and Health survey data was used and the structured logistic regression model was fitted to the data, where fixed effects were modeled parametrically, non-linear effects were modeled non-parametrically using second order random walk priors and spatial effects were modeled using Markov Random field priors.Results:The prevalence of anemia among non-pregnant women of reproductive age was 18.9%. Women from the households which use water from the unprotected well had a higher risk of having anemia than a woman from the household where they use water piped into dwelling or yard. The risk of anemia was higher among underweight women and women living in households without toilet facilities. The anemia was less pronounced among the women using contraception, literate women, women from the households which use a bed net and living in rich households.Conclusion:The findings from this study highlighted the districts with the highest number of anemic women and this can help the policymakers and other public health institutions to design a specific programme targeting these districts in order to improve the health status and living conditions of these women. The findings also suggest an improvement of toilet facilities, bed net use and source of drinking water in affected households.

Abstract Background: Sexual and reproductive health and right of young people is a global priority as the reproductive choices made by them have a massive impact on their health and wellbeing, education and economy. Teenage pregnancy is a public health issue and a demographic challenge in Ethiopia. The use of contraceptive method is a most effective way for sexually active adolescent to prevent pregnancy and its related complication. However, little is known about the trends in contraceptive use and its determinant among adolescent girls in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the trends and correlates of contraceptive use among sexually active girls aged 15-19 years in Ethiopia by using Ethiopian demographic and health survey data. Methods: Four Ethiopian demographic and health survey data were used to examine trends of contraceptive methods use. To identify factors associated with contraceptive use, the 2016 Ethiopian demographic and health survey data were used. The data was accessed from the demographic and health survey program database and data for sexually active adolescent girls were extracted. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 21. Data were weighted for analysis. Descriptive analysis was used to describe independent variables of the study. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with contraceptive use.Results: Contraceptive method use was increased significantly from 6.9% in 2000 to 39.6% in 2016 among sexually active adolescent girls in Ethiopia. The odds of contraceptive use were lower among female adolescent who had no formal education (AOR= 0.044; 95% CI= 0.008–0.231) and attended primary education (AOR= 0.101; 95% CI= 0.024–0.414). But the odds of contraceptive methods use were higher among adolescents in rich wealth status (AOR= 3.662; 95% CI =1.353–9.913) and those who were told about family planning during their health facility visits (AOR= 3.115; 95% CI= 1.385–7.007).Conclusion: Contraceptive method use was increased significantly among sexually active adolescent girls in Ethiopia in the year 2000 to 2016. Wealth status, educational status and information about family planning during their health facility visits were factors associated with contraceptive use. Improving economic and educational status of young women may help in improving contraceptive use in Ethiopia.

Abstract Background Sexual and reproductive health and right of adolescents is a global priority as the reproductive choices made by them have a massive impact on their health, wellbeing, education, and economy. Teenage pregnancy is a public health issue and a demographic challenge in Ethiopia. Increasing access to contraceptive services for sexually active adolescents will prevent pregnancies and related complications. However, little is known about the trends in contraceptive use and its determinants among adolescent girls in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the trends and factors associated with contraceptive use among sexually active girls aged 15–19 years in Ethiopia by using Ethiopian demographic and health survey data. Methods Four Ethiopian demographic and health survey data were used to examine trends of contraceptive methods use. To identify factors associated with contraceptive use, the 2016 Ethiopian demographic and health survey data were used. The data was downloaded from the demographic and health survey program database and extracted for sexually active adolescent girls. Data were weighted for analysis and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the independent variables of the study. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with contraceptive use and adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence interval were presented for significant variables. Variables with a p-value less than 0.05 were considered as significantly associated with contraceptive use. Results Contraceptive method use had increased significantly from 6.9% in 2000 to 39.6% in 2016 among sexually active adolescent girls in Ethiopia. The odds of contraceptive use were lower among female adolescents who had no formal education (AOR 0.044; 95% CI 0.008–0.231) and attended primary education (AOR 0.101; 95% CI 0.024–0.414). But the odds were higher among adolescents from a wealthy background (AOR 3.662; 95% CI 1.353–9.913) and those who have visited health facilities and were informed about family planning (AOR 3.115; 95% CI 1.385–7.007). Conclusion There is an increment in the trend of contraceptive use among sexually active female adolescents in Ethiopia between 2000 and 2016. Significant variations in the use of modern contraception by wealth status, educational level and visited a health facility, and being informed about family planning were observed. Improving the economic and educational status of young women, and provision of information may help in improving contraceptive use in Ethiopia.

AbstractBackgroundTetanus toxoid vaccination is a life-saving maternal and child health intervention. Understanding gaps in maternal vaccination coverage is key to informing progress towards universal health coverage. We assessed maternal tetanus vaccination coverage in Myanmar and investigated factors associated with being unvaccinated.MethodWe analysed 2015-16 Demographic and Health Survey data including women aged 15-49 years with at least one childbirth in the last five years. The outcome was self-reported receipt of tetanus vaccine at least once during the last pregnancy. We used logistic regression models to assess factors associated with being unvaccinated.ResultsOverall maternal tetanus vaccination coverage was 85.7%. Sub-national coverage was lowest in the predominantly ethnic minority states of Shan, Kayin, and Chin at 69.6%, 77.4%, and 79.9%, respectively. Factors associated with a lack of vaccination were: not receiving antenatal care (odds ratio (OR): 18.99, 95% confidence interval (CI): 14.21, 25.39); receiving antenatal care at home (OR: 2.05, 95% CI: 1.46, 2.88), private and non-governmental organization clinics (OR: 2.88, 95% CI: 1.81, 4.58, compared to public facilities); and not wanting to go to a health facility alone (OR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.14, 2.06). Higher educational attainment was associated with lower odds of being unvaccinated (OR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.32, 0.70 for secondary relative to no education).InterpretationWe identified regional, structural, and individual differences in maternal tetanus vaccination coverage. Achieving universal coverage of maternal tetanus vaccination will largely depend on the ability to provide accessible antenatal care to most women who do not currently receive it.
