A log rate model for piecewise constant rates is applied. The piecewise hazard function assumes a constant hazard rate of child mortality in each 6 month category of the preceding birth interval. The negative binomial regression model is applied to account for the overdispersion present in the Poisson model.

Thesis, University of the Western Cape, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/11394/4383.
Full textIn many countries, an enumeration of all household members remains the most important source of population statistics. According to Statistics South Africa, two population censuses and quite a few household surveys have taken place across the country. The quality of data recorded varies according to the operation. Despite great improvement in data collection and analysis capacities,some of the demographic data provided have not been assessed in terms of quality. The aim of this study was to ascertain the accuracy of demographic data on age and sex collected and the coverage during the population census 2001, General Household Surveys (2004 and 2007), Labour Force Surveys (2005 and 2007) and Community survey 2007 in South Africa. Two methods were applied to assess the quality of data. First, the direct method consists of checking the content and coverage (errors during enumeration, errors of exploitation, concordance in questionnaire). Second, the indirect method lies in the calculation of some indexes, age ratios,sex ratios, graphing of population pyramids and sex ratios curves. The indexes are Whipple’s index, Myer’s index and the Combined index of United Nations. Therefore, the main variables of interest are age, sex, place of residence and ethnic groups. Differentials in the quality according to declaration on age by gender, by ethnic group, by place of residence have been explored. This study has identified some variations in different indexes between 2001 and 2007 and has also evaluated the ethnic, gender and regional differentials. Comparison between indexes of each instrument has been done to measure some variations over years. Also, time-space comparisons were conducted across indexes of different instruments. The quality of data on age was better at national level compared to provincial level. Therefore, based on the measurements and patterns observed in the census and surveys data, the study has made some recommendations on the need for an integrated approach to reduce the gap and improve the quality of declarations on age and sex.

Full textThis study is based on the assumption that the under-five mortality rate, in recent decades, has declined, particularly in developing countries. However, all the social strata across many countries do not seem to benefit from this reduction of mortality - and mortality remains abnormally high among children especially those from underprivileged social strata. This research is, therefore, a holistic approach to analyse and quantify the inequalities of health among children under five in sub-Saharan Africa over the last two decades (1990-2010). The research sought to investigate the trend and determinants of health inequalities of under-five years (mortality and morbidity) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from 1990 to 2010. An essential point has been devoted to the decomposition of effects and analysis of the contribution of the factors explaining these inequalities. The data used in the study come from Demographic and Heath Surveys (DHS) done between 1990 and 2015 in sub-Saharan Africa countries. In order to analyse the inequalities in trends of mortality and morbidity of children, different selected countries that have conducted at least three DHS during the 1990-2010 period. Several statistical methods were used for data analysis. There were four chapters which is prepared with an article style. For the first paper titled "Decomposing Inequalities in Under- Five Mortality in Selected African Countries", concentration index (CI) and Generalised Linear Model (GLM) with a logit link were used to analyse and measure under 5 mortality inequalities and the associated factors. This paper has been published in the Iranian Journal of Public Health. For the second paper titled "Determinants of Under-Five Mortality in Burkina Faso: A Concentration Dimension". The study used logistics regression and Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method for the binary outcome to analyse data was involved. For data analysis of the third paper titled "Women Education, Health Inequalities in Under-Five Mortality in sub-Saharan Africa, 1990 – 2013", logistic regression and Bius's decomposition method were used to examine the effect of mother's education level on childhood mortality. In the fourth paper titled "Trends and Risk Factors for Childhood Diarrheal in sub-Saharan Countries (1990-2010): Assessing the Neighbourhood Inequalities", a multilevel logistic regression modelling was used to determine the fixed and random effects of the risk factors associated with the diarrheal morbidity. The work carried out during this on-going thesis helps to understand the magnitude of inequalities in under-five mortality in sub-Saharan countries. The findings showed that the contributing factors of inequalities of child mortality were birth order, maternal age, parity and household size. With regards to the relationship between mother's education level and inequalities in mortality of children under-five in sub-Saharan Africa, findings showed that children of mothers who did not attend school have a higher rate of death compared to those who had been to school. However, we have observed that the inequalities have narrowed over time. The results showed the risk factors of diarrheal morbidity varied from one country to another, but the main factors included: child's age, the size of the child at birth, the quality of the main floor material, mother's education and her occupation, type of toilet, and place of residence. In conclusion, the results of this study show that inequalities in under-five mortality are still important among different social strata in sub-Saharan Africa countries. It is then urgent to take actions to save the lives of children in disadvantaged social strata.

Full textThe continuum of care for maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) has recently been highlighted as a systematic approach to integrating health service provision throughout the life-cycle and across levels of service delivery. The continuum provides a framework for delivering high-impact interventions organised in health service packages to deliver high quality reproductive, maternal, newborn and child care services, ensuring appropriate linkages between family and community care, outreach and outpatient services and clinical and the first level facility and the hospital. This study, using data from Demographic and Health Surveys from eight African countries, provides an analysis of the coverage and co-coverage of four essential MNCH packages along the continuum of care, with a particular focus on inequalities in the distribution of services. The analysis of coverage of antenatal care, skilled attendance at childbirth, postnatal care and immunisation packages reveals key gaps, especially during childbirth and the postnatal period. Coverage is especially low for women and children from the poorest households in these countries, with coverage among the richest quintile up to 6 times higher than the poorest quintile. Nigeria emerges as the country with the lowest coverage overall and the largest gap between rich and poor while Malawi has the highest coverage and the most equitable coverage of services Continuity of care between these important packages increases health system efficiency as well as user and provider satisfaction. Co-coverage along the continuum of care was analysed to determine which mothers, newborns and children received all four care packages. While at least three quarters in Nigeria and up to 99% of mothers, newborns and children in Malawi and Tanzania receive at least one package of care, less than half received all four packages. There is greater variation in co-coverage between countries and within countries among the richest and poorest households compared to coverage of single packages alone. The richest quintile in Malawi is twice as likely to receive all four packages compared to the poorest quintile whereas in Nigeria the difference between richest and poorest is 13 fold. The purpose of applying these measures should be seen not as an end in itself but as a tool to describe current patterns and distribution of services and to advance improvements in the continuum of care. This research highlights the importance of integrating MNCH packages in different contexts as well as further improvements in data collection in order to effectively guide and monitor progress towards universal coverage of packages along the continuum of care to save the lives of women and children. Addressing issues of exclusion among families from the poorest households and establishing effective links between these packages is crucial to improving overall coverage. The postnatal period in particular is a notable gap that lacks a systematic package in all these countries. In the meantime, available information can be used to improve MNCH integration and service delivery along the continuum of care in order to reach the highest number of women, newborns and children with effective care.

Full textThe present study was conceived to examine the trend and factors affecting fertility in Nigeria and Guinea. Fertility has declined by about nineteen percent in Nigeria between 1982 and 1999. In the same period it has declined by five percent in Guinea. The decline is observed in data from censuses and surveys. Studies have reported that fertility transition is in progress in most Sub-Sahara African countries (Bongaarts 2008
Guttmacher 2008), Nigeria (Feyisetan and Bankole 2002) and Guinea (measuredhs 2007). Studies and surveys done in some regions and among ethnic groups suggest that fertility is declining in Nigeria (Caldwell et al. 1992) and Guinea (measuredhs 2007). However, these studies and surveys are devoid of national representativeness as they are localized in specific regions or selected ethnic groups. Thus, they cannot be used as a national reference. The trend of the total fertility rate (TFR) from the three consecutive Demographic and Health Surveys in Nigeria did not show any meaningful decrease over time. In the same vein, no evidence of fertility decline was observed in Guinea from the Demographic and Health Surveys. The claim that fertility is declining in these two countries which assures the funding organizations that Family Planning programs are successful is beyond the scope of the present study. Based on Demographic and Health Surveys the claim that fertility is decreasing in Nigeria may be misleading, whereas in Guinea fertility has shown stability. This suggests that while the factors affecting fertility may be similar, their impacts differ from country to country.

Apartheid policies have been criticised for widening inequalities between population groups in South Africa. They have also been considered to have dictated differentials in demographic parameters. With lack of adequate data on social and economic variables in most demographic surveys including DHS, the use of race as a determinant of fertility seems plausible. With adequate data on social and economic factors, we use the NIDS survey to assess the effects of race on fertility after adequately controlling for social and economic factors. A logistic regression model is applied to assess the chance that a woman aged 20-24 has given birth by age 20 and a woman aged 25-29, by age 25. A linear regression model is also applied on the number of children born to a woman, standardised by age. The results show that the effect of race on fertility is not significant.

Full textThis research focuses on estimating infant and under-five mortality in South Africa for the period 1998-2012, both to update previous estimates taking into account new data and to assess the reasonableness of all estimates. Data from the 2011 Census and the 2012 HSRC survey were used for this purpose. The 2011 Census provided data from deaths reported by households as well as the survival of the most recent births. The 2012 HSRC provided full birth history data for women aged 15-49 which were used for direct estimation of childhood mortality. Deaths reported by households together with census estimates of the number of children under the age of five are used to produce estimates of infant and under-five mortality using the synthetic cohort life table approach.

Full textThis dissertation investigates the robustness of recent births in estimating infant mortality rates from the proportion of deaths observed among births reported in a 24month period. The Blacker Brass technique is applied to all births reported in the 24month period and to most recent births in the 24 month period. The study uses birth history data from 76 Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in 16 countries across the developing world between 1986 and 2011. All births (and the deaths of those births) occurring in five 2-year periods before each survey were extracted to obtain five estimates of infant mortality using the Blacker-Brass and direct estimation methods from each dataset. This allows trends in infant mortality for the 10-year period before the survey to be compared and relative errors to be calculated. The results showed a decline in infant mortality in most datasets and are consistent with the United Nations and the World Health Organisation 2013 estimates. The relative errors did not indicate any systematic bias of the Blacker-Brass method applied to all births; however, further investigations showed that the method underestimated infant mortality in the period closest to the survey date in most datasets. Furthermore, the relative errors were positively correlated with the directly estimated level of infant mortality. There were, however, no significant differences in the relative errors across countries.

Full textEthiopia 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. This study is based on secondary analysis of the 2011 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey. Information on 1,889 mothers of children aged 12–23 months were extracted from the children dataset. Records from vaccination cards and mothers’ self-reported data were used to determine vaccine coverage. The association between child immunization status and determinants of non-utilization of immunization services was assessed using bivariate and multivariate analyses. The findings of this study showed that the prevalence of incompletely immunized children is 70.9%. Children of mothers from the poor (AOR = 2.27; 95 % CI: 1.34 – 3.82) wealth quintile were more likely to be incompletely immunized. Children of mothers from Affar (AOR = 15.80; 95 % CI: 7.12 – 35.03), Amhara (AOR = 4.27; 95 %CI: 2.31 – 7.88), Oromiya (AOR = 8.10; 95 % CI: 4.60 – 14.25), Somali (AOR = 4.91;95 % CI: 2.65 – 9.10), Benishangul-Gumuz (AOR = 4.20; 95% CI: 2.34 – 7.57),Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples’ (AOR = 4.76; 95 % CI: 2.53 – 8.94), Gambela (AOR = 7.75; 95 % CI: 3.68 – 16.30) and Harari (AOR = 3.22; 95 % CI: 1.77 –5.89) regions were more likely to be incompletely immunized. Mothers with inadequate exposure to media (AOR = 1.60; 95% CI: 1.21 – 2.14), who are not aware of community conversation programme (AOR = 1.80; 95% CI: 1.40 – 2.32) and who attended no antenatal care (AOR = 2.21; 95% CI: 1.72 – 2.83) were more likely to have incompletely immunized children. Despite efforts to increase rates of childhood immunization, the proportion of children with incomplete immunization in Ethiopia is considerably high. Therefore, targeted interventions at the identified socio-demographic factors are needed to increase immunization rates.

Full textAlthough the association between poor sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and sociodemographic indicators has been explored in many resource-poor settings, limited information exists specific to Liberia. The two studies in this document seek to describe unmet need for SRH services using three critical indicators of SRH services: knowledge of HIV status (sexual health); use of skilled provider for antenatal care and delivery (reproductive health); and use of modern contraception when there is a desire to limit or space reproduction (family planning). Data from Liberia’s 2013 Demographic and Health Survey (LDHS) was used to summarize individual-level profiles according to key sociodemographic and sexual health characteristics for sexually active women and men aged 15-49 (Nwomen=7,787; Nmen=3,426). Frequency distributions from log-binomial regressions show the prevalence of unmet need for sexual health services for women is 51.9% and 72.8% for men; 39.7% for reproductive services (women only); and prevalence of unmet need for family planning is 70.7% for women and 76.1% for men. Results show wide disparities in unmet need for sexual health services by wealth and educational attainment for both men and women. Differences in unmet need for reproductive services were disparate based on educational attainment, wealth, and urban/rural residence. Although the unmet need for family planning is high, the disparities among subgroups is not as dramatic as other unmet needs. Results indicate the need to evaluate the gaps between national policy and service utilization with special attention to subgroups with a high-burden of unmet need.
