Title
1. MULTILEVEL ANALYSIS OF FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH neonatal
MORTALITY IN ETHIOPIA: Evidence from the Ethiopian Demographic and Health
Survey of 2016.
Objectives
General objective
 To assess factors associated with child mortality in Ethiopia using Ethiopian
Demographic and Health Survey 2016 data.
Specific objectives

 To determine childhood factors on child mortality.

 To determine maternal factors on child mortality.

Background

Ethiopia is among the countries with the highest neonatal mortality with the rate of 37
deaths per 1000 live births. In spite of many efforts by the government and other
partners, non-significant decline has been achieved in the last 15 years. Thus,
identifying the determinants and causes are very crucial for policy and program
improvement. Studies are scarce in the country

2. A Multilevel Analysis of the Determinants of HIV Testing in Ethiopia:

Evidence from the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey of 2016.
Objective of the study
 General objective
To assess the determinants of HIV Testing in Ethiopia using Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016
data.

 Specific objectives
 To assess socio-economic and demographic factors associated with HIV testing.
 To identify factors that may explain the variation of rate of HIV testing

Background
Ethiopia is still burdened with HIV epidemic and the government has an ambitious aim in the post-2015 era to end
the AIDS epidemic by 2030. To achieve this, the government has set up the 90-90-90 strategic milestones to be
achieved by 2020. It is a daunting task to increase HIV testing uptake from the current estimate of 56% to 90% to
meet these targets. The government’s initiative requires an understanding of determinants of HIV testing

3. determinants of survival in adult HIV-infected patients on

antiretroviral treatment in Suhul hospital ,Shire Ethiopia
Objectives
General objective
 To assess the survival pattern and the determinants of survival among adult (≥15
years old) HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral treatment in Suhul hospital.
Specific objectives
 To assess the survival pattern of the adult HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral
treatment

 To assess the determinants associated with the mortality among adult HIV-
infected patients on antiretroviral treatment
Background: Survival among HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral treatment (ART) has not been
systematically evaluated in Tigray. This study explores the survival pattern and its determinants
among adult HIV-infected patients on ART.
