As social well-being or poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon, using a multidimensional measure of poverty helps avoid problems surrounding the conventional measures of poverty and helps show clearly the realities of households. In this line, this study analysis used three dimensions with ten indicators to construct a multidimensional index of poverty using third rounds of Ethiopian Rural Households’ Socioeconomic Survey data set. The study also employed a logit analysis for examining determinants of poverty. The results reveal that intensity, severity, and depth of urban Ethiopia multidimensional poverty are 71.4%, 46.1% and 32.9% respectively. The poorest of the poor are those residing in small town areas compared to medium and large towns even if the difference is low. Female household heads experience a greater breadth and severity of multiple deprivations relatively than male household heads. Moreover, demographic and household heads’ characteristics are major factors in determining poverty. Targeting programs in living standard, health and education dimension will reduce poverty substantially. It can be achieved by enforcing policies and collaborate with foreign concerned organs.Item PREVALENCE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS OF UTERINE FIBROIDS AMONG REPRODUCTIVE AGE WOMEN ATTENDING GYNECOLOGY UNIT IN GURAGE ZONE HOSPITALS, CENTRAL ETHIOPIA, 2024.(WOLKITE UNIVERSITY, 2024-04) MUNTAHA KEDIRIntroduction: Uterine fibroid is one of the most common benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus that affect women of reproductive age. The prevalence of fibroids is significant with esti mates that 20-25% of women and about 235 million of women who represent 6.6% of global women population estimated to be affecting worldwide. In our country the prevalence and asso ciated factors of uterine fibroids among reproductive age women is still unclear, thus, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of uterine fibroids among women attending gynecological unit in Gurage Zone Hospitals, 2024. Methods: An institution based cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024, involving 342 study participants who were selected consecutively during the study period. The data were collected by using pre-tested structured questioners and data were entered into epi-data manager Version 4.2 and subsequently exported to SPSS version 20 for analysis. Bivariable and Multivariable Lo gistic regressions analysis were performed to identify associated factors for uterine fibroids con sidering of 95% CI and P-value of < 0.05. Results: The prevalence of uterine fibroids among reproductive age women was 22.1%. The mean age of respondents was 33.4 and SD ± 6.8 years. Factors such as, age between 36-45 years (AOR = 8.635, 95% CI (1.179 - 63.223); participants educational status of secondary level (AOR = .040, 95% CI (.003-.485); experiencing infertility (AOR = 18.626, 95% Cl (4.336 - 80.011); obstetrics and gynecology related surgeries (AOR = 15.520, 95% Cl (5.755 - 41.854); ever used of contraceptives (AOR = .267, 95% Cl (.094 - .759); late age of menarche (AOR = .031,95% Cl (.001- .646); and family history of uterine fibroids (AOR = 6.705, 95% Cl (2.464 18.248); were significantly associated with uterine fibroids. Conclusion In this study, the prevalence of uterine fibroids found to be relatively high. Major predictors such as age of women, participant educational status, infertility, obstetrics and gynecology related op eration, contraceptives, family history, and late menarche age was found to be predictors of uter ine fibroids.
