Individual and community level maternal factors for zero-dose children in Ethiopia using mini-EDHS 2019: a mixed effects model
Compared with previous studies, the prevalence of zero-dose children was low in Ethiopia. Variables like urban residence, no education, home delivery, poor wealth index, no antenatal care(ANC) visit and women from low proportions of community media exposure were the risk factors for zero-dose children in Ethiopia. Therefore, expanding maternal health services and media access for women is highly recommended to reduce zero-dose children mortality.
