Abstract:

Magister Public Health - MPH<br>Ethiopia has achieved its target for Millennium Development Goal 4 by recording 69 %reduction in its under-five mortality. The proportion of fully immunized children in Ethiopia has increased from 14 % in 2000 to 24 % in 2011. Though progress has been made, about 3 out of 4 children still remain incompletely immunized. The purpose of this study is to determine the socio-demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with incomplete immunization among children aged 12-23 months in Ethiopia.

Abstract:

Introduction: Although global prevalence of anemia has decreased from 1990 to 2010, children under 5 years remain as the only age group to have an increase. Large differences in the prevalence of anemia have been reported according to the area of residence (urban and rural) and geographic level. This could be due to differences in access to health services, adherence to treatment, social factors, among others. Objectives: The present study aims to evaluate the determinants of the difference in anemia prevalence across the urban and rural areas and its spatial distribution in infants aged 6 to

Abstract:

Nutrition of children is crucial for normal physical, mental, and social development especially in the 6 to 24 months age group, as they are in the fast growing phase. Literature has reported under-nourishment as one of the causes of child mortality, which implies that addressing under-nourishment in children is one way of reducing child mortality. Nutrition guidelines for infants and children have been formulated by the World Health Organisation and the National Department of Health in South Africa. In spite thereof, there is a concern about the children between the ages of 6 to 24 months fro

According to the results of the Zimbabwe Multiple indicator cluster survey in 2019, stunting remains high at (26.8%) and the leading form of malnutrition, affecting 1 in 3 children less than 5 years in Zimbabwe. Suboptimal feeding practices have been identified as one of the many causes of malnutrition.

Abstract:

Childhood undernutrition remains a public health problem in slums in Nairobi, yet little is known about current childcare practices, particularly child eating and maternal feeding behavior and their impact on child growth. Treatment options for malnutrition in this setting involve the use of sweet, high energy ready to use foods (RUF), which have the potential to displace home foods, but few studies have assessed this. This thesis therefore aimed to quantify high-risk caring practices in children aged 6-24 months and how these vary with nutrition status. The effects of RUF on meal frequency an

Rwanda is a country with a high burden of childhood undernutrition with >40% of children <5y anemic and ~45% chronically undernourished (stunted). Home fortification (HF) with micronutrient powders (MNP) has shown to reduce iron deficiency and anemia in resource poor settings; however, it remains unclear whether MNP can reduce stunting and there are concerns that it may increase the risk of illness in young children. The aims of this study were to determine if HF with MNP is an effective strategy to reduce anemia and stunting in children 6 – 24 mo in Rwanda, as well as determine whether MNP in
