Abstract

School youth in many African countries face a range of non-infectious health risks, in addition to the infectious disease burden typical in resource-limited settings. We examined self-reported health behaviors associated with suicide ideation, school absenteeism and physical violence among secondary school students in Kampala, Uganda. We conducted a cross-sectional three-stage cluster-based survey among students aged >=15 years, and/or enrolled in forms 3–6 (grades 9-12) in 54 secondary schools in Kampala. Interview data were collected with a standardised electronic questionnaire through computer-assisted self-interviewing and results were weighted for sample design and non-response. Pearson’s chi-square and logistic regression methods were used for bivariate and multivariate analysis respectively. Bullying among female respondents was positively associated with suicide ideation (aOR=1.73). In multivariate analysis, suicidal ideation was positively associated with a lifetime exposure to illicit drug use (aOR=1.76), serious injury (aOR=1.67) or school absenteeism (aOR=1.46). School absenteeism was positively associated with serious injury (aOR=1.59), history of alcohol consumption (aOR=1.55), bullying (aOR=1.52) and suicide ideation (aOR=1.45). Serious injury (aOR=2.89), a life-time history of illicit drug use (aOR=2.65), recent history of having been bullied (aOR=2.38), physical activity (aOR=2.12), suicide ideation (aOR=1.58), school absenteeism (aOR=1.57) were associated with having been engaged in physical violence. Bullying, serious injury and illicit drug use were associated with suicidal ideation, school absenteeism and physical violence. Concerted efforts should be considered by education authorities, parents and the community to tackle these risky behaviors.

Abstract

Supplementary food distribution for pregnant women still depends on the local policy. This program is funded using Health Operational Funds and distributed in form of milk, eggs, raw materials such as green beans and others. The field constraints of this program were acceptability and willingness of pregnant women to process the raw materials. This study aims to address the problems of providing supplementary food for pregnant women who suffer from chronic energy malnutrition and anemia by making the formulation of high protein biscuits and Fe using soybean flour substitution catfish eggs and flour as a source of protein and Fe.  Biscuits produced is expected to be one of the snacks and nutritions for women who suffer from chronic energy deficeincy. The ingredients were flour, fish powder, soy flour, eggs,  milk powder, sugar, and maize flour. The method used was pure experimental approach completely randomized design with three times repetition. The formulation of the biscuits proportion between fish and soy flour as much as 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2. Proximate test shows that the proportion of fish and soy flour 1:2 has the highest energy value (496.81 kcal) with a value of 17.74% protein. Organoleptic test indicates that the most favorable taste and tekstur was the formulation with the proportion of fish flour and soy flour 1:2. The formulation of high protein and Fe biscuits for women with chronic energy malnutrition and anemia in Boyolali favoured by third trisemester pregnant women is the one with the proportion of 1:2.

Abstract

Every year, 40 million women give birth at home without the help of askilled birth attendant. In 2011, 287,000 women died during pregnancy or childbirth. Almost all these deaths occur in developing countries where mothers and children lack access to basic health care. Reports showed the low utilization of health facility for delivery service in Ethiopia. This study aimed to determine the utilization and factors influencing institutional delivery. Community based cross sectional study was conducted from January to February 2013/14 in Boricha District of Southern Ethiopia among mothers who gave birth in the last 1 year. Multistage sampling techniques were used to collect data from 546 mothers. Taking in to account place of birth for the last child, only 4.9% women gave birth in a health facility. Women’s education level (AOR=4.4 (95% CI=1.36-14.33)), timing of firstANC visit (AOR= .03 (95% CI=0.004 - 0.205)), women’s advice to deliver in a health facility during ANC (AOR = 31.15 (95% CI=2.02-479.52)), women’s knowledge of birth related complications (AOR= 12.4 (95% CI=2.67-57.16)) and decision making power (AOR=0.2 (95% CI=0.060.82)) showed significant association with institutionional delivery. Institutional delivery in the study area was found to be very low. Raising awareness on institutional delivery to maximize delivery service utilization and strengthening provision of education and counseling to deliver in health facility during antenatal care visits at individual and community level should be given due emphasis.

We found that the school performance measured by class roll number of the students is significantly related with mothers BMI. There was an imperfect negative association between socio-economic parameters and school performance. But the relationship between the school performances with socio-economic parameters was strongly significant. This study also observed the relationship between Individual Dietary Diversity Score (IDDS) of respondent and marks achieved in class 4 final exam. It is alarming that consumption percentage were low for eggs (30) and milk and milk products (37.5), but majority of the students who consumed milk and milk products (63.3%) and eggs (66.7%) got the highest marks.
