Topic: Maternal Mortality & Morbidity in Ethiopia
Prepare a country data brief on Ethiopia highlighting your findings. This profile should contain information that a local non-governmental organization or the Ministry of Health could use to inform in-country programs, policies, or advocacy efforts. Use a combination of narrative, boxes, tables, graphs, bullet points, and charts to present your information and communicate a clear message about the topic that you selected.
Include:
a. an introduction with background information on the country and the MCH population profiled in the brief,
b.The overall context of the problem,
c. your findings using visuals and narrative, and
d. a concluding summary.
The intro/background can be any source, but the data needs to be from the DHS, and graphs from there need 5-6 graphs.
Create a data brief about maternal mortality and morbidity with an emphasis on healthcare services
Include a key findings section at the beginning on the left side
Talk about the rate of maternal mortality & morbidity and what it means for women in Ethiopia.
Look into health services from other programmatic services
Look at the main causes of maternal mortality & morbidity in Ethiopia. Look into Fitsula repair, FGM, and reproductive health and how that impacts maternal mortality and morbidity in Ethiopia
Here is an example of a data brief. It should look like this: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db500.pdf
Please use the DHS website for ALL data and graphs ONLY. Nothing else will be accepted. Here is the link to the DHS: https://dhsprogram.com/
To navigate the DHS, search Ethiopia and look through the publications and data sets to find info on maternal health. The introduction and background paragraphs can be of outside resources but the visuals, data, needs to be from the DHS.
