John E. Ataguba

Summary: The concentration index and its normalization are widely used in assessing socioeconomic inequalities in health and health care. However, researchers may overlook the underlying behaviors when interpreting the corrected or normalized concentration indices.

Zemenu Tadesse Tessema et al.

Summary: This study examines the prevalence and associated factors of low birth weight in Sub-Saharan countries based on secondary data sources from 35 countries' Demography and Health Survey. The pooled prevalence of LBW in Sub-Saharan Africa was 9.76%, with various factors such as female gender, lack of healthcare decision-making, wider birth intervals, divorced/separated status, and twin pregnancies associated with increased occurrences of LBW, while factors like education, antenatal care visits, older maternal age, and multiparity were associated with reduced occurrences of LBW.

Oduse Samuel et al.

Summary: This study identifies significant disparities in maternal healthcare services utilization between urban and rural areas in Sub-Saharan Africa, with socio-economic factors such as household wealth index, exposure to media, and educational level of women and their husbands/partners playing a major role.
