Coverage and determinants of deworming uptake among under-five children in Somalia: A multilevel analysis of the 2020 SDHS data

Low deworming coverage among under-5 children in Somalia is observed. Factors include higher maternal education, greater wealth, health facility delivery, urban or nomadic residence compared to rural, and older child age are significantly associated with deworming coverage. To improve the deworming coverage, organizing school-based campaigns and deploying mobile health teams for door-to-door visits in remote areas may be useful.
