Abstract Identifying and classifying poor rich groups in cities depends on several factors. Using data from available nationally representative surveys 38 sub-Saharan African countries, we aimed to identify, through different poverty classifications, the best classification urban large city contexts. Additionally, characterized terms of living standards schooling. We relied absolute relative measures identification process. For ones, selected people below line, socioeconomic deprivation...
Abstract African cities are experiencing increasing living standard disparities with limited evidence of intra-urban health disparities. Using data from the 2006–2016 Uganda Demographic and Health Surveys, we employed UN-Habitat definition to examine slum-like household conditions in Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA). Subsequently, developed a severity index assessed its association under-5 common morbidities healthcare access. We also characteristics people conditions. identified...

We examined COVID-19's impact on the number of small vulnerable newborns (SVN) at national and regional levels in Peru Brazil. Using birth registries, we monthly numbers preterm (PT), low birthweight (LBW), for gestational age (SGA) newborns. analysed SVN using two interrupted time series models. estimated SVN's expected absence pandemic mixed-effects regressions calculated percent changes by comparing these estimates to observed during pandemic. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) were Poisson...
Substantial gaps exist between pregnant women's contact with health facilities and the quality of care they receive (effective coverage) in low- middle-income countries (LMICs). An effective coverage cascade is a useful analytical approach to uncover due poor facility service readiness care. We estimated readiness-adjusted antenatal (ANC) built an available data. used data from latest household surveys eight accounting for 28 925 women 8621 facilities. Service was assessed based on...
Background: Despite decades of family planning (FP) program successes in low-and middle-income countries (LIMCs), unmet need for contraceptives persists with inequalities coverage. Including elements service readiness intervention coverage measures will better inform population-level performance. Methods: Five LMICs were identified a health facility and household survey conducted within five years one another the last 10 years: Bangladesh, Haiti, Malawi, Nepal Tanzania, time trend data...
Most child deaths can be averted through prompt and appropriate treatment of illnesses such as pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria. However, research has suggested that increases in care seeking do not necessarily mean quality is being received. We assessed the service readiness process curative healthcare during childhood determined whether children are receiving health services with sufficient across countries. linked data from household surveys including standard Demographic Health Survey...

However, gender often only reported in relation to sex-disaggregated data coverage surveys. Few surveys date have integrated more expansive set gender-related questions and indicators, especially low- middle-income countries high levels inequality. Using various gender-sensitive we investigated the role power relations within households on women’s outcomes Simiyu region,...
