Geographical variation and associated factors of vitamin A supplementation among 6-59-month children in Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Vitamin A has been one of the most important micronutrients which are necessary for the health of the children. In developing countries, the supplementation of vitamins under a regular schedule had different constraints. Awareness, access, and resource limitations were usually the problem. In the current study, we analyzed the data from the demographic health survey (EDHS) 2016 to uncover the spatial distribution, predictors, and to provide additional information for policymaking and interventions.

Methods

In this analysis, we applied intra-community correlation to measure the random effect; global Moran's I to test the nature of variance in the null model; proportional change in variance to check the variance of null and neighborhood in subsequent models. We us
