However, there appears to be a dearth of information on the spatial distribution of undernutrition among women in Ghana over time. We, therefore, examined the spatial and temporal variations in undernutrition among non-pregnant Ghanaian women. Drawing on data from the 2003, 2008, and 2014 Ghana demographic and health surveys, we used geospatial techniques to show spatial autocorrelation for undernutrition levels in the study sample. Multilevel logistic regression analysis was also applied to estimate sociodemographic and contextual factors underlying the variations in the country. The results show considerable local clusterings and regional variations in undernutrition levels in the sample coupled with steady improvements within the regions over time. There was also a notable north–south divide in the undernutrition levels among non-pregnant women in the country for the study period. The spatio-temporal patterns of undernutrition levels are explained by some individual-level sociodemographic factors such as age, marital status, educational attainment, household wealth, and water source as well as the percent of regional unmet need for family planning. Policies and interventions should focus on alleviating the observed regional disparities in undernutrition levels among women while targeting and tracking higher risk women in Ghana.\u0000","PeriodicalId":43022,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Demography","volume":"7 1-3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138510176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fertility and mortality rates are known to show considerable variation at the level of regions, states and districts. Little is known however, about the spatial variations of the contraceptive usage-a critical variable that is relevant to fertility as well as health policy. This paper uses data from four national population-based household surveys conducted between 1998 and 2016 to explore district-level variations in the contraceptive prevalence rate. We find no clear evidence of convergence. The gap between the best and worst performing districts is more than 70 percent across the four rounds and does not diminish over time. We also find considerable evidence of spatial clustering across districts. Districts with high prevalence concentrate in Southern states and more recently, in the Northeast of the country. Our analysis suggests that female literacy and health care infrastructure are important correlates of spatial clusters. This suggests that investments in women's human capital and health-care infrastructure play a role in expanding women's opportunities to time their births.","PeriodicalId":43022,"journal":{"name":"Spatial Demography","volume":"9 2","pages":"241-269"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s40980-021-00092-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39684586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
