  4. Article ; Online: Is the impact of paid maternity leave policy on the prevalence of childhood diarrhoea mediated by breastfeeding duration? A causal mediation analysis using quasi-experimental evidence from 38 low-income and middle-income countries.

    Abstract Objectives: Quasi-experimental evidence suggests that extending the duration of legislated paid maternity leave is associated with lower prevalence of childhood diarrhoea in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). This could be due to a variety of mechanisms. This study examines whether this effect is mediated by changes in breastfeeding duration.
    Design and setting: Difference-in-difference approach and causal mediation analysis were used to perform secondary statistical analysis of cross-sectional data from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHSs) in 38 LMICs.
    Participants: We merged longitudinal data on national maternity leave policies with information on childhood diarrhoea related to 639 153 live births between 1996 and 2014 in 38 LMICs that participated in the DHS at least twice between 1995 and 2015.
    Primary outcome measure: Our outcome was whether the child had bloody stools in the 2 weeks prior to the interview. This measure was used as an indicator of severe diarrhoea because the frequency of loose stools in breastfed infants can be difficult to distinguish from pathological diarrhoea based on survey data.
    Results: A 1-month increase in the legislated duration of paid maternity leave was associated with a 34% (risk ratio 0.66, 95% CI 0.47 to 0.91) reduction in the prevalence of bloody diarrhoea. Breast feeding for at least 6 months and 12 months mediated 10.6% and 7.4% of this effect, respectively.
    Conclusion: Extending the duration of paid maternity leave appears to lower diarrhoea prevalence in children under 5 years of age in LMICs. This effect is slightly mediated by changes in breastfeeding duration.

    Abstract ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the extent to which national laws and policies shape public health and economic security. Paid leave policies enable parents to meet children’s health needs while maintaining job and income security. These policies matter immensely to children’s health every year. Yet, little is known about the extent to which policies exist to support the full range of childhood health needs. Using a novel dataset constructed from legislative text in 193 countries, this study assesses whether laws in place in 2019 are adequate to support meeting children’s everyday, serious, and disability-related health needs. Globally, only half of the countries guaranteed working parents access to any paid leave that could be used to meet children’s health needs. Only a third addressed everyday health needs, including leave that matters to reducing infectious disease spread. For serious health needs, even when paid leave was available, it was often too short for complex health conditions. Moreover, although all children require parental presence at medical appointments and for serious illness, fewer countries guaranteed paid leave to care for older children than younger. Addressing these gaps is crucial to supporting child health and working families during times of public health crisis and every year.

    Abstract Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is devastatingly common around the world. It rose further during the pandemic, increasing the urgency of finding interventions to prevent IPVAW and supporting women's ability to exit violent situations. Interventions that prevent violence and eliminate views among perpetrators that violence is acceptable should be top priority. It is also critical to study women's attitudes toward IPVAW as these shape women's responses to the abuse and their exit options. Moreover, research shows that these attitudes have a direct impact on women's health outcomes. We examine the effect of tuition-free secondary education on women's attitudes toward IPVAW across 29 Sub-Saharan African countries using data from the Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2000 and 2019. Using the difference-in-difference-in-differences strategy, we estimate the change in women's attitudes toward IPVAW in countries that implement tuition-free secondary policy compared with countries with tuition-free primary alone and those without any tuition-free policy during the study period. We find that while tuition-free primary education policy alone did not reduce the probability of IPVAW being perceived as justified, tuition-free secondary reduced it significantly. The probability that IPVAW was perceived as justified under at least one circumstance declined by 5.3 percentage points more on average in countries that adopted tuition-free policy up to the secondary level relative to those that adopted only up to the primary level. Tuition-free secondary affects four of the five circumstances under which IPVAW was perceived as justified - if she goes out without telling the husband, argues with him, neglects children or refuses sex. We observed no declines for when she burns food, suggesting different factors affecting this outcome. Our findings underscore the importance of making a stronger commitment toward policies that make secondary education more accessible to not only benefit education outcomes but also advance population health.
