Spatial distribution and determinants of Vitamin A supplementation non-receipt among children aged 6–35 months in Ethiopia: a multiscale geographically weighted regression analysis
The study reveals significant geographical variation in the prevalence of not having Vitamin A supplements among children aged 6-35 months in Ethiopia. Sociodemographic factors like being from uneducated mothers, poor households, children aged 6-23, and first-born children were found to be some of the determining factors for the disparity. Hence, the need for region-specific public health interventions is highly encouraged to improve the coverage of vitamin A supplementation in Ethiopia.
