(Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Akinyemia, A. I.; Fagbamigbe, A. F.; Omoluabi, E.; Agunbiade, O. M.; Adebayo, S. O.
Introduction: This paper examined the management of diarrhoea at sub-national levels with the aim of providing an analytic view towards linking diarrhoea management to sources of care within the Nigeria context. Methods: We used the 2013 NDHS data. Based on the 2004 WHO/UNICEF guidelines, we classified the quality of diarrhoea management practice as good, fair or poor. Having ‘Good’ diarrhoea management is our dependent variable. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square statistics, logistic regression models and life table techniques were used to analyse the data. All analyses were carried out using Stata version 13, weighted and adjusted for survey design and sampling errors at 5% significance level. Results: The overall prevalence of diarrhoea was 9% with 6% among 0–6 months old children and 16% among those aged 7–23 months. Diarrhoea prevalence was highest in the North-East region of Nigeria (16%). Prevalence was 10% among children whose mothers had no education and 11% among children from the poorest households. Quality of diarrhoea management was significantly associated with child’s age, mother’s age, wealth quintile, place where treatments were taken, health care accessibility, parental education, having blood in stool, quality of water and open defecation. Children who had care from the hospital were over 8 times more likely to experience good diarrhoea management compared with other children who didn’t receive care from hospitals (OR = 8.18, 95% CI: 5.73–11.69). Furthermore, children from urban areas (OR = 2.03, 95% CI: 1.58–2.60) or whose mother reported access to modern health care services (OR = 2.23, 95% CI: 1.72–2.88) were more likely to experience good diarrhoea management. Child survival increased with higher levels of good diarrhoea management. Conclusion: In Nigeria, treatment of childhood diarrhoea at home and in the community is not as effective as that obtained from the health facility.

Detachment from nature is contributing to the environmental crisis and reversing this trend requires detailed monitoring and targeted interventions to reconnect people to nature. Most tools measuring nature exposure and attachment were developed in high-income countries and little is known about their robustness across national and linguistic groups. Therefore, we used data from the Body Image in Nature Survey to assess measurement invariance of the Nature Exposure Scale (NES) and the Connectedness to Nature Scale (CNS) across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups (N =56,968). While multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA) of the NES supported full scalar invariance across gender identities and age groups, only partial scalar invariance was supported across national and linguistic groups. MG-CFA of the CNS also supported full scalar invariance across gender identities and age groups, but only partial scalar invariance of a 7-item version of the CNS across national and linguistic groups. Nation-level associations between NES and CNS scores were negligible, likely reflecting a lack of conceptual clarity over what the NES is measuring. Individual-level associations between both measures and sociodemographic variables were weak. Findings suggest that the CNS-7 may be a useful tool to measure nature connectedness globally, but measures other than the NES may be needed to capture nature exposure cross-culturally.
