Potential interventions for preventing pneumonia among young children in developing countries:
promoting maternal education
This journal describe that The views of various disciplines on the role of education in
improving the health and survival of young children in developing countries are discussed, as wetl
as the factors and processes explaining this impact of education and the influence which education
could have on risk factors especially relevant to acute respiratory infections (ARI) and pneumonia.
This is by reviews of the available evidence on the impact of maternal education on mortality and
morbidity. Since there are hardly any data dealing with the impact of education on pneumonia
mortality, we focus on post-neonatal mortality, assuming that it is a suitable proxy for pneumonia
mortality. Evidence is summarized on several processes or mechanisms which could explain why
there is such an impact of education on ARI mortality (and morbidity) in children below 5. An
attempt is made to quantify the reduction in pneumonia mortality which has occurred during the
past 10—15 years as a result of improvement in women's education. This will also give an
indication of the magnitude of the potential benefits of education for health and survival in the
years ahead. Throughout this report we define maternal education as the regular schooling received
by women during their youth. Some may have followed additional adult education classes before
they became mothers.
Calculations were also made on the potential of maternal education as an intervention to reduce
ARI mortality. Educational statistics show that many developing countries will make gains in the
raising of educational levels of women in the next 10—20 years. It is tentatively concluded that
such improvements in women's education will lead to reductions. And in this journal says that this
research has been used to estimate the potensial for reducing mortality. Mother education is the
main of all this research. The potensial of women`s education as a child health intervention would
be much grather if the enrollment of of education could be increased more than would be
expecteted.
