The Ethiopia Demographic and Health Surveys (EDHS) data from 2011, 2016, and 2019 were examined using a geostatistical technique that took into account spatial autocorrelation. Ordinary kriging was us...
Overall, stunting prevalence was decreased from 44.42% [95%, CI: 0.425-0.444] in 2011 to 36.77% [95%, CI: 0.349-0.375] in 2019. Across three waves of EDHS, clusters with a high prevalence of stunting ...
In Ethiopia, substantial progress has been made in decreasing stunting among children under the age of 5 years; although disparities varied in some areas and districts between surveys, the pattern gen...
The identification of ecosystem health and its influencing factors is crucial to the sustainable management of ecosystems and ecosystem restoration. Although numerous studies on ecosystem health have ...
Despite prior progress and the proven benefits of optimal feeding practices, improving child dietary intake in developing countries like Ethiopia remains challenging. In Ethiopia, over 89% of children...
Spatial and multiscale geographically weighted regression analysis was conducted among 1,427 weighted sample children aged 6-23 months. ArcGIS Pro and SatScan version 9.6 were used to map the visual p...
Overall, 89.56% (95CI: 87.85-91.10%) of children aged 6-23 months failed to achieve the recommended minimum acceptable diet. Significant spatial clustering was detected in the Somali, Afar regions, an...
Level of minimum acceptable diet among children in Ethiopia varies geographically. Therefore, to improve child feeding practices in Ethiopia, it is highly recommended to deploy additional resources to...
Accurately estimating the spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation is crucial for hydrological modeling. However, precipitation products based on a single source have their advantages and di...
HIV testing during pregnancy is an integral component and first step of prevention for mother to child transmission, initiation of antiretroviral treatment and diagnosis of HIV/AIDS. However, Ethiopia...
The study was based on three consecutive demographic and health survey in Ethiopia. A total weighted sample of 13,020 women who gave birth within 2 year proceeding each survey year was included in eac...

Over all, there has been a substantial increase in HIV testing uptake among pregnant women overtime in Ethiopia, but it still far away from achieving the 2025 HIV testing targets. Knowledge of Mother ...
Childhood stunting is a global public health concern, associated with both short and long-term consequences, including high child morbidity and mortality, poor development and learning capacity, incre...
The current analysis was based on data from the 2019 mini Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS). A total of 5,490 children under the age of five were included in the weighted sample. Descript...
The prevalence of stunting was 33.58% (95%CI: 32.34%, 34.84%) with a clustered geographic pattern (Moran's I = 0.40, p<0.001). significant hotspot areas of stunting were identified in the west and sou...
In Ethiopia, under-five children suffering from stunting have been found to exhibit a spatially clustered pattern. Maternal education, wealth index, birth interval and child age were determining facto...
Spatial interaction models with spatial origin-destination (OD) filters are powerful tools to characterize trip flows in space, which is a classic and important problem in regional science. To the aut...
Annually, 30 million women in Africa become pregnant, with the majority of deliveries taking place at home without the assistance of skilled healthcare personnel. In Ethiopia the proportion of home bi...
This study used secondary data from the 2019 Ethiopian Mini Demographic and Health Survey. First, Moran's I and Getis-OrdGi* statistics were used to examine the geographic variation in home births. Fu...
