Some of the major conclusions emerging from this analysis are: (i) Mortality has declined more rapidly among infants, children under 15 years and women of reproductive ages....(ii) Among adults, mortality has declined more rapidly among females than among males, the differential gain being largest in the age span 25-49. But in ages under 15, there is no evidence to suggest a gender differential in mortality decline. (iii) Among children and women of reproductive ages, mortality has declined more rapidly in urban areas than in rural areas but the reverse is true in the case of adult men.... The paper also analyzes the trends in mortality in major states of India during 1970-86." The authors observe a significant shift in patterns between 1978 and 1979, and conclude that this may be limited to changes in SRS data collection techniques.

For the purpose of the study annual estimates of age-specific death rates covering the period 1970 to 1986 have been taken from the annual year book of sample registration system published by the Registrar General of India....

This study aimed to examine the socio-economic differentials of under-five mortality in Botswana within the framework of equality and equity. Methods and findings The analysis for this paper was based on the data from 2001 and 2011 Botswana Population and Housing Censuses and the 2017 Botswana Demographic Survey. One census method was used to indirectly estimate under-five mortality for different socio-economic groups using Princeton west model life tables. Results from this study revealed that socio-economic disparities in under-five mortality disfavouring the worse-off exist in all the selected socio-economic variables. The variations of socio-economic groups by mother’s place of residence and employment status have been narrowing over time, whereas the differences of socio-economic groups by mother’s level of educati...

Methods This study used cross-sectional secondary data from Botswana Youth Risk Behavior and Biological Surveillance Survey (BYRBBSS), 2010. Multivariable binary logistic regression models were used to investigate the predictors of suicide behaviours. Results The study shows that 51.5% of the respondents reported having ever contemplated suicide while 40.1% of the respondents attempted suicide in the last 12 months before the survey. The study found that male learners (AOR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.44–0.83), learners who were not attacked or threatened or injured by someone (AOR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.17–0.72), who were not bullied (AOR = 0.22, 95% CI = 0.13–0.39), and who were confident of themselves (AOR = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.39–0.76) were less likely to contemplate suicide. Wherea...

Botswana has a single foundational Identity Management System which is a primary tool for public administration and governance as well as facilitation of service delivery to the public. It creates one identity per person pursuant to the current legal framework which is used several times by the person at various institutions to facilitate the individual’s access to services including social safety net programs, claiming of rights and entitlements. The national identity card is used as a breeder document for obtaining other documents such...

Despite the importance placed on adequate antenatal care service utilization, women in Uganda continue to underutilize antenatal care services. The primary goal of this study is to identify the factors associated with women’s adequate utilization of antenatal care services in Uganda. Methods Secondary data from the 2016 Uganda Demographic and Health Survey were used in this study. The study sample consists of 9,416 women aged 15 to 49 who reported giving birth in the five years preceding the survey. The adequate use of antenatal care services is the dependent variable. A woman who used antenatal care services at least four times is considered to have adequately used antenatal care services. We used univariate, bivariate, and multilevel logistic regression modelling to identify the factors associated with adequate utilization of antenatal care services. STATA version 14.2 wa...
