ABSTRACT The study aimed at examining the effect of mortality rate fertility rate and net migration on population growth in Uganda from the period of 1985 to 2015 using time series data. Specifically, the study aimed at examining how each of these variables affects population growth. The objectives were; to examine the relationship between mortality rate and population growth rate in Uganda, to determine the relationship between fertility rate and population growth rate in Uganda are and to a...
ABSTRACT This thesis provides an assessment of the effectiveness of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in Ghana implemented by Act 650 and L.I 1809, 2004. This assessment is done by taking the Akuapem South Mutual Health Insurance Scheme, selected health facilities in the NsawamAdoagyiri Municipality and Akuapem South District that provides health insurance services and health insurance users as case study. The selected health facilities are the Nsawam Government Hospital, Pokrom H...

Abstract The problem of estimating the parameters of Poisson-Exponential distribution under progressive type-I interval censoring is considered. Previously, researchers have considered maximum likelihood estimation under the progressive type-I interval censoring scheme for various distribution, but no research has considered Poisson-Exponential. Poisson-Exponential is a two-parameter lifetime distribution having an increasing hazard function. It has been applied in complementary risks problem...
Abstract Lomax distribution is an important lifetime distribution. The process of obtaining estimates of parameters for di_erent lifetime distributions under various schemes still remains an area of interest. In Lomax distribution, parameter estimates have been obtained using ordinary procedures like Newton Raphson when the test units follows a progressive Type-II hybrid censoring scheme whereby within most cases the obtained values do not converge easily to the true value. The MLEs a...
ABSTRACT Routine inspections are conducted at various food establishments that yield large data sets, which capture attributes useful for data mining algorithms to predict critical violations. Critical violations related to food establishments cause serious public health problems, which may happen as result of unhygienic environment, leading to food contamination. This study presents predictive models to detect critical violations in food establishments by employing Logistic Regression (LR),...
ABSTRACT The study examined men's involvement in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) ofl-IIV programmes in the Federal Teaching Hospital Ido-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study aimed at identifying correlates of PMTCT in the hospital. Questionnaires was used to elicit information from eligible respondents in the study area. Response were analysed at univariate by using simple frequency distribution and percentage. Cross- tabulation was done to examine the relationship betwe...
ABSTRACT The study described the neighborhood factors influencing contraceptive use among adolescents in Ile Ife. The problems of unwanted pregnancy and inadequate use of contraceptive methods among adolescents is worse in developing countries like Nigeria due to uneven distribution of contraceptives and lack of knowledge on its uses. This study was carried to examine the neighborhood factors affecting contraceptive knowledge among adolescents in Ile Ife. The study made use of primary data wh...
Abstract Nigeria is a country with one of the world’s highest rate of under-five mortality. Any innovative research aimed at bringing solutions to this problem should be considered worthwhile. This study examined how socio-economic, demographic and cultural factors (called underlying factors), influence under-five mortality in Nigeria by identifying some other direct factors (called proximate determinants) through which the underlying factors influence under-five mortality. It used data fro...

ABSTRACT Problems of pregnancy and birth delivery cause more deaths and disability than any other reproductive health problem. The situation is worse in developing countries like Nigeria due to inadequate access to antenatal care services and lack of utilization. A pregnancy not long after the previous childbirth may result in poor health outcomes for the mother, poor health status for the child and a reduction in probability of survival for both mother and child. There are past studies on m...
Abstract Lack of contraceptives use is major concerns not only in Sub-Saharan Africa but also in many other developing countries in the world especially in Nigeria. Therefore, this study assess the factors that determines contraceptive useamong couples in Nigeria, Data were obtained from 2013 NDHS, and weighted sample of 38,676. Univariate result showed that the socio demographic factor is significant with the contraceptive use. The bivariate analysis revealed that there is a significant ass...
