{ "description": "<p>Abstract</p>\n\n<p>Armed conflict is a complicated topic with multidimensional impact on population health. This study aimed to assess of the health consequences of the northern Ethiopian conflict, 2022. We used a mixed method study design with a retrospective cross-sectional study supplemented by a qualitative study conducted from May to June 2022. We interviewed 1806 individuals from 423 households and conducted 100 in-depth interviews and focused group discussion. We identified 224 people who self-reported cases of illness (124/1000 people) with only 48 (21%) people who fell ill visited a health institution. We also detected 27 cases of deaths (15/1000 people) during the conflict. The collapse of the health system, evacuation of health personnel, and shortage of medical supplies, and instability with a lack of transportation were consequences of the conflict. The northern Ethiopian conflict has greatly affected the community's health through the breakdown of the health system and health-supporting structures.</p>", "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/", "creator": [ { "affiliation": "Woldia University", "@type": "Person", "name": "Mulugeta Wodaje Arage, Henok Kumsa, Mulu Shiferaw Asfaw , Abebe Tarekegn Kassaw , Ephrem Mebratu , Abayneh Tunta , Woldeteklehymanot Kassahun, Amanuel Adissu, Molla Yigzaw, Tilahun Hailu, Lebeza Alemu Tenaw" } ], "headline": "Assessing the health consequences of northern Ethiopian armed conflict, 2022", "image": "https://zenodo.org/static/img/logos/zenodo-gradient-round.svg", "datePublished": "2024-03-30", "url": "https://nadre.ethernet.edu.et/record/8376", "@context": "https://schema.org/", "identifier": "https://doi.org/10.1057/s41271-023-00464-z", "@id": "https://doi.org/10.1057/s41271-023-00464-z", "@type": "ScholarlyArticle", "name": "Assessing the health consequences of northern Ethiopian armed conflict, 2022" }
