“…A review of the literature revealed eight cross-national studies appearing in peer-reviewed journals that considered water and sanitation (Burroway, 2010;Cairncross et al, 2010;Cheng et al, 2012;Chowdhury, Islam, & Hossain, 2010;Handa, Koch, & Ng, 2010;Prüss et al, 2002;Rutstein, 2000;Shandra, Shandra, & London, 2011). However, none examine the effects on neo-natal mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa.…”

We examine the impact of access to an improved water source and sanitation facility on maternal and neo-natal mortality. We analyze data from a sample of 32 Sub-Saharan African nations from 1990 to 2005 using a two-way fixed effects regression model. We find that access to both improved water and sanitation facilities are associated with decreased maternal and neo-natal mortality. We also consider other structural barriers or facilitators of good reproductive health and find that International Monetary Fund structural adjustment, gross domestic product per capita, female educational attainment, and conflict intensity are related to maternal and neo-natal mortality. We conclude by talking about the theoretical implications, methodological implications, policy suggestions, and directions for future research.

“…Moreover, as previously mentioned, much of this research treats women's legal economic status, socio-health dimensions of women's status (such as fertility rates), and general health provisions as competing predictors, rather than carefully drawing on prior ideas to theorize how these elements work through and with one another to shape the distribution of health inequalities across nations (e.g. Austin and Noble, 2014;Brady et al, 2007;Burroway, 2010Burroway, , 2012. Deconstructing the relationship between women's legal economic rights, general provisions for health, and women's sociohealth status can help provide further insights into how the adoption of gender-egalitarian economic policies leads to broad improvements in physical well-being.…”

“…To correct for this nonnormality and adhere to the regression assumptions, we log-transformed malaria prevalence, as is common in macro-comparative research of highly skewed health outcomes (e.g. Austin and Noble, 2013;Burroway, 2010Burroway, , 2012. However, as a result of this log-transformation, the interpretation of the relationships between our outcome and its predictors must be taken into account.…”

Although seldom noted in scholarly accounts, malaria represents a leading cause of death and underdevelopment in poor nations. Enormous cross-national variation in malaria rates across its endemic zones suggests the importance of large-scale factors in explaining comparative disease trends. While the biological vulnerability of women and children to malaria is often acknowledged, the literature has yet to investigate how gender inequalities contribute to patterns of malaria prevalence. Utilizing structural equation modeling on a sample of 90 less-developed nations and engaging insights from gender stratification perspectives, we consider the influence of both legal economic status and social dimensions of women's status on malaria rates. We find that women's legal economic status has an indirect relationship on malaria rates by enhancing women's social standing and strengthening general health provisions. The results suggest that addressing issues of gender inequality in poor nations is central to tackling this persistent pandemic.

“…A considerable literature suggests that education at the macro-level has important consequences for population health, and some even find that find that secondary school enrollment has a larger direct effect on well-being than GDP per capita (Brady, Kaya, and Beckfield 2007;Burroway 2010).…”
