Settings, characteristics, and experiences of stigma among people with tuberculosis in Kenya
Tuberculosis (TB) related stigma remains a significant barrier to TB care and treatment adherence in Kenya.

Pursuing policymakers, payors and public – expanding the beginning and end of the tuberculosis care cascade to reflect whole-of-society ambitions
Persistently high TB prevalence in Nairobi County neighbourhoods, 2015–2022
National and sub-national population-based surveys, when performed at intervals, may assess important changes in TB prevalence. In 2022 we re-surveyed nine Nairobi County neighbourhoods that were previously surveyed in 2015. We aimed to determine pulmonary TB prevalence, compare prevalence to 2015 estimates, and evaluate changes in risk groups. Participants who reported cough of any duration and/or whose chest x-ray suggested TB submitted sputum …
Determinants of contraceptive use among women 0–23 months postpartum in Kitui County, Kenya
