Magnitude and patterns of child sexual abuse: A retrospective cross-sectional study among male pediatric patients at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia

Conclusion
The study clearly shows the high use of se1f i(lay) care.

The study also shows that there are grounds for suspecting possible hazards from self (lay) care, at least for those carried out with modem drugs.

Discussion
The perception of illness by a person in a household was used as the starting point for inquiry on actions taken. The findings (Table 3) in general are similar to report from studies in Ethiopia and elsewhere with the attendant possibilities of under reporting and general incomparability of surveys. (3, 9, 27, 32, 78, 90, 99. 114). (Source: Ethiopian Journal of Health Development)

Sickness
Table 3 summarizes the data on reported illness in the previous 14 days (two weeks). Between 87 (Zewai) and 164 (Addis Ababa) persons per thousand people reported 10 have been sick in the previous 2 weeks. In terms of sickness episodes, these were between 87 and 18:j per 1000. Cough and other respiratory symptoms being the most frequently reported in all but Adamitulu, dominate the picture. Head and neck, diarrhea and other gastro-intestinal symptom complexes vie for second place. (Source: Ethiopian Journal of Health Development)
