“…Children from mothers who were exposed to media (watched television, listened to the radio, and read newspapers or magazines) every day or at least once a week were more than two times more likely to meet MAD than those children from mothers who didn't. This study is similar to other studies conducted in Ethiopia and Asian countries [21,25,28,[35][36][37]41]. The reason behind this could be that currently, most of the time, child feeding practices are promoted using different Media, which has the power to change the attitude and practices of individuals.…”

“…Children from mothers who attended secondary and above level of education were more than two times to meet the MAD than children from non-educated mothers. This finding is in line with studies done in Ethiopia [25,35,36], Tanzania [31], Kenya, Uganda, and Nigeria [30,37], and Asian countries [30]. This might be explained by; as the maternal education level becomes higher, her knowledge, attitude, and practice towards child feeding practice might be improved [26].…”

Background: Optimal infant and young child feeding practices are essential for normal growth, better health, and mental and physical development. Even though there are a lot of nutrition intervention programs in Ethiopia, still suboptimal feeding practices are prevalent. This study was devised to assess a level of minimum acceptable diet (MAD) and predictors among children aged 6-23 months in Mareka District, south Ethiopia. Method: A community-based cross-sectional study was employed on 662 study participants from August 15 to September 15/ 2015. They were selected by a multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected by interviewer-administered semi-structured questionnaires. Statistical significance was declared at p-value <0.05 at multivariable logistic regression. Result: The study showed that 35.5 % of the children aged 6-23 months met the recommended MAD. Maternal primary and secondary education (AOR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.15-3.16 and AOR: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.12-3.77), Media exposure (AOR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.46-3.29), health facility delivery (AOR:2.52; 95% CI: 1.54-4.13), child age of 9-11 and 12-23 months (AOR:2.73; 95% CI: 1.41-5.49 and AOR:2.55; 95% CI: 1.39-4.69) and GMP service utilization (AOR: 4.09; 95% CI: 2.51-6.65) were associated with MAD of children. Conclusion: The level of MAD among children was low. Maternal educational status, media exposure, institutional delivery, child age, and GMP service utilization were associated with MAD. Increasing utilization of GMP service, health facility delivery, maternal education, and media promotion was recommended to increase the level of MAD.

“…Poor maternal mental status, in turn, is associated with reduced dietary diversity in the offspring [ 38 , 39 ]. Fourth, unimproved water access might increase the risk of maternal exposure to intimate partner violence [ 40 ], which has been established as a risk factor for inadequate complementary feeding and early termination of exclusive breastfeeding [ 41 , 42 ].…”

Poor child feeding and childhood malnutrition are major public health problems in rural central and western China, with little evidence about their environmental determinants. This study aimed to investigate whether household water access is associated with dietary diversity and nutritional outcomes. We analyzed the cross-sectional data of 3727 children aged 6 to 59 months in rural central and western China, applying multivariate linear and logistic models to estimate the effect of water access on children’s anthropometric indices, hemoglobin, and dietary diversity. We found that unimproved water access was linked to a lower likelihood of achieving dietary diversity (OR = 0.65, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.98, p = 0.039); lower height-for-age z-score (β = −0.34, 95% CI −0.49 to −0.19, p < 0.001) and hemoglobin concentration (β = −2.78, 95% CI −5.16 to −0.41, p = 0.022); higher odds of stunting (OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.25, p = 0.047) and anemia (OR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.77, p = 0.037). The associations between water access and nutritional outcomes were not explained by dietary diversity and were stronger in children who did not receive iron supplementation. These findings provide evidence for designing water-based nutritional interventions in China.

Introduction: Intimate partner violence is one of the most common psychological, physical, and sexual assaults toward women which suit the entire life of women, and nowadays, the magnitude accelerates due to coronavirus pandemic. Hence, this study was aimed to examine the prevalence of intimate partner violence and predictors during coronavirus among childbearing-age residents in Debre Berhan. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional survey was employed from 1 May to 1 July 2020. Eight items of women abuse screening tool were used to estimate intimate partner violence. Trained data collectors directly interview randomly selected participants. The data were entered using Epi-info V. 7 and analyzed using SPSS V. 23. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the prevalence of intimate partner violence and the frequency distribution of other variables. During bivariate analysis, predictor variables with a p-value less than 0.25 were nominated to further analysis. An adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used and a p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: A total of 700 participants were included with a response rate of 95.1%. The prevalence of intimate partner violence in the past single year was 19% with 95% confidence interval = 16.1–21.9. Besides, the prevalence of emotional (19.9%, 95% confidence interval = 16.9–22.8), sexual (10.9%, 95% confidence interval = 8.6–13.2) and physical (9.4%, 95% confidence interval = 7.3–11.6) violence was reported. Women with depressive symptoms, overweight, suicidal ideation, and body image disturbance were significantly associated with intimate partner violence, but not educational status, employment, income, stressful life events, lifetime alcohol use, suicidal attempt, and abortion. Conclusion and recommendation: Nearly one out of five interviewed participants had intimate partner violence. Being overweight, having poor body image, and having depression increase intimate partner violence. Special preventive measures and treatment, and other legal services should be taken to alleviate the predictor variables and intimate partner violence.
