Exploring the Multilevel Determinants of Suboptimal Maternal and Child Continuum of Care in Indonesia.

Objective: Understanding the multilevel factors associated with completeness of care across the continuum of maternal and child health is needed in order to reduce maternal and child mortality and morbidity in Indonesia. This study aims to assess the multilevel determinants of continuum of care (CoC) and its contextual factors in Indonesia.

Methods: Data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey were analyzed.

Public health insurance and maternal health care utilization in india: evidence from the 2005-2012 mothers' cohort data.

Background: The introduction of Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) in India, a conditional cash transfer program which incentivized women to deliver at institutions, resulted in a significant increase in institutional births. Another major health policy reform, which could have affected maternal and child health care (MCH) utilization, was the public health insurance scheme (RSBY) launched in 2008. However, there is a noticeable lack of studies that examine how RSBY had impacted on MCH utilization in India.

Beyond personal factors: Multilevel determinants of childhood stunting in Indonesia.

Background: Stunting is still a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, including Indonesia. Previous studies have reported the complexities associated with understanding the determinants of stunting. This study aimed to examine the household-, subdistrict- and province-level determinants of stunting in Indonesia using a multilevel hierarchical mixed effects model.

Maternal autonomy and birth registration in India: Who gets counted?

This paper examines the effect of maternal socio-economic status in the household, such as their autonomy, ability, freedom and bargaining power, on child birth registration in India using the nationally representative India Human Development Survey-II (IHDS-II), 2011-12. We have estimated a multilevel mixed effects model which accounts for the hierarchical structure of the data and allows us to examine the effects of unobserved 'district' and 'community' characteristics along with individual child level characteristics on probability of birth registration. The results show that between-districts and between individuals differences share a considerably high and an almost equal proportion of the variations in probability of birth registration in India.

Child Schooling in Ethiopia: The Role of Maternal Autonomy.

This paper examines the effects of maternal autonomy on child schooling outcomes in Ethiopia using a nationally representative Ethiopian Demographic and Health survey for 2011. The empirical strategy uses a Hurdle Negative Binomial Regression model to estimate years of schooling. An ordered probit model is also estimated to examine age grade distortion using a trichotomous dependent variable that captures three states of child schooling.
