The Association Between Pay-as-you-go LPG Consumption and Respiratory Health Symptoms in an Informal Urban Settlement in Nairobi, Kenya
In sub-Saharan Africa, approximately 85% of individuals use biomass fuels (e.g., charcoal, wood) for cooking. While replacing biomass fuels with cleaner cooking fuels (e.g., liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)) can benefit respiratory health, the difference in respiratory symptom prevalence between exclusive and partial LPG use is uncertain. Smart meter data from 621 households using pay-as-you-go (PAYG) LPG in an informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya,…
Residents’ perspectives on a community health worker-delivered household air pollution prevention programme pilot in Eldoret, Kenya
BACKGROUND: Household air pollution (HAP), from the use of polluting fuels for cooking, heating, and lighting, poses significant health and environmental risks, particularly in low-resource settings. The Community Household Air Pollution Prevention Programme (CHAP-PP) integrated a 'household air pollution, health, and prevention' module into Kenyan national Community Health Worker training, involving household-based education, awareness-raising, …
Understanding drivers of fuel stacking among pay-as-you-go LPG customers in Nairobi, Kenya
Whose pollution, whose problem? Understanding perceptions of air pollution and implications for clean cooking (for health) in Nairobi schools
Air pollution is a critical global public health and environmental concern, leading to over 6.7 million premature deaths annually, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where the use of polluting fuels for cooking remains widespread. Incorporating perceptions of air pollution is argued as vital for developing effective intervention strategies. However, this has seldom been given focus in the development of clean c…
Influence of conspiracy theories and distrust of community health volunteers on adherence to Covid-19 guidelines and vaccine uptake in Kenya
Public trust is key for compliance to government protocols in times of health mitigating COVID-19 measures and its vaccination initiative, and thus understanding factors related to community health volunteers (CHVs) trusting the government and conspiracy theories is vital during the COVID-19 pandemic. The success of universal health coverage in Kenya will benefit from the trust between the CHVs and the government through increased access and dema…
Widening inequities in clean cooking fuel use and food security
Universal access to cleaner cooking fuels (including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)) is a key target of Sustainable Development Goal 7. Currently, approximately 40 million Kenyans rely on polluting cooking fuels (e.g. charcoal, wood). While the Kenyan government aims to rapidly scale up use of LPG for cooking by 2030, COVID-19 restrictions and a 16% value added tax (VAT) re-introduced on LPG in 2021 have likely hampered progress in LPG uptake. We …
Design and implementation of a health systems strengthening approach to improve health and nutrition of pregnant women and newborns in Ethiopia, Kenya, Niger, and Senegal
Maternal and neonatal mortality are unacceptably high in developing countries. Essential nutrition interventions contribute to reducing this mortality burden, although nutrition is poorly integrated into health systems. Universal health coverage is an essential prerequisite to decreasing mortality indices. However, provision and utilization of nutrition and health services for pregnant women and their newborns are poor and the potential for impro…
