dc.description.abstractShort birth interval is more common among women in low- and middle-income countries. Identifying actionable aspects of short birth interval is necessary to address the problem. The review concludes that research has most commonly explored education and age of the mother, previous pregnancy outcome, breastfeeding, contraception, socioeconomic level, parity, and sex of the preceding child. A shorter time breastfeeding and the female children were the only factors consistently associated with short birth intervals. The quantitative and qualitative studies reported largely non-overlapping results.en
