Abstract
Adverse birth outcomes continue to be global public health challenges, particularly in poor resource setting. Policy makers are often focused on curative medical care to the neglect of the impaired functioning and the life-long disabilities of these adverse birth outcomes in populations. This cross sectional study was aimed at assessing the nutritional, socioeconomic, health service and maternal risk factors associated with birth or pregnancy outcomes. About 183 mothers were systematically sampled among six sub-districts for this study. Data was analyzed with the use of STATA version 13.

Factors that were significantly associated with low birth weight included alcohol intake (P
