Under nutrition and associated factors among adolescent girls attending school in the  rural and urban districts of Debark, Northwest Ethiopia: A community-based comparative cross-sectional study.

Stunting was higher among rural adolescent girls as compared to urban. However, thinness was higher among urban dwellers. Lower wealth class, food insecurity, lowest media exposure, and age were significantly associated with stunting and thinness. Hence, increasing latrine coverage, boosting the economic status of the community, and increasing media exposure for adolescent girls should get due attention.
