Impact of orphanhood on underweight prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa by Rivers, Jonathan, Mason, John, Silvestre, Eva, Gillespie, Stuart, Mahy, Mary, Monasch, Roeland

“…To compare orphans and nonorphans, linear regression and probit models were developed, taking account of orphan status and type, presence of a surviving parent in the household, household structure, child age and sex, urban versus rural residence, and current wealth status.Few differences emerged between orphans and nonorphans in controlled and uncontrolled comparisons, regardless of orphan type, presence of surviving parent, or household structure. …”
