Abstract
Communities in North East India are prone to various social and geographical vulnerabilities leading to poor health outcomes. This paper assesses various geographical vulnerabilities and their association, particularly with reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression and univariate and bivariate Local Indicators of Spatial Association methodologies were used to study the effects of various vulnerabilities faced by women, using National Family Health Survey-5 data (2019–21). The findings can be utilised in developing regionally tailored and targeted interventions to address localised needs and improve the overall health status.
