Fertility intentions and contraceptive practices among clinic-users living with HIV in Kenya
Integra is a non-randomised pre-post intervention trial registered with Current Controlled Trials ID: NCT01694862
Impact of Integrated Services on HIV Testing
The impact of integrated reproductive health and HIV services on HIV testing and counseling (HTC) uptake was assessed among 882 Kenyan family planning clients using a nonrandomized cohort design within six intervention and six “comparison” facilities. The effect of integration on HTC goals (two tests over two years) was assessed using conditional logistic regression to test four “integration” exposures: a training and reorganization intervention;…
Can surveys of women accurately track indicators of maternal and newborn care? A validity and reliability study in Kenya
BACKGROUND: Tracking progress on maternal and newborn survival requires accurate information on the coverage of essential interventions. Despite widespread use, most indicators measuring maternal and newborn intervention coverage have not been validated. This study assessed the ability of women delivering in two Kenyan hospitals to recall critical elements of care received during the intrapartum and immediate postnatal period at two time points: …
Assessing the validity of indicators of the quality of maternal and newborn health care in Kenya
BACKGROUND: The measurement of progress in maternal and newborn health often relies on data provided by women in surveys on the quality of care they received. The majority of these indicators, however, including the widely tracked "skilled attendance at birth" indicator, have not been validated. We assess the validity of a large set of maternal and newborn health indicators that are included or have the potential to be included in population-base…
Family planning use and fertility desires among women living with HIV in Kenya
NCT01694862
Determinants of health insurance ownership among women in Kenya
As the Kenyan government transforms the NHIF into a universal health program, it is important to implement a program that will increase equity and access to health care services among the poor and vulnerable groups
Influence of Distance to Health Facilities on the Use of Skilled Attendants at Birth in Kenya
We sought to determine the spatial variation in the use of skilled providers during deliveries across Kenya and the relationship between distance to health facilities and the use of skilled delivery. We found that women who resided 5 km or less from the nearest health facility were more likely to use skilled care at delivery than women residing at greater distances, although the pattern of choice of health facility level for delivery differed at …
Correlates of HIV-status awareness among adults in Nairobi slum areas
The prevalence of HIV in the adult population in slum areas in Nairobi, Kenya, is higher than for residents in the city as a whole. This disparity suggests that the characteristics of slum areas may adversely influence the HIV-prevention strategies directed at reducing the national prevalence of HIV. The objective of the study was to identify some of the sociodemographic and behavioural correlates of HIV-status awareness among the adult populatio…
Study protocol for the Integra Initiative to assess the benefits and costs of integrating sexual and reproductive health and HIV services in Kenya and Swaziland

Family Ties and Urban–Rural Linkages among Older Migrants in Nairobi Informal Settlements
Building on African migration as a household survival strategy; urban–rural linkages as critical for migrants' continued engagement with origin communities; reintegration in case of return; and safety net for supplementing precarious urban incomes; we examine the role of family ties in rural origin linkages among 1,693 older migrants living in Nairobi informal settlements. Despite the grim of slum residence, 80% of older migrants in Nairobi slums…
Determinants for HIV testing and counselling in Nairobi urban informal settlements
Although the proportion of individuals ever tested in the informal settlements is similar to the national average, it remains low compared to that of Nairobi province especially among men. Key determinants of HIV testing and counselling include; gender, age, education level, HIV status and marital status. These factors need to be considered in efforts aimed at increasing participation in HIV testing
P2-431 Marital status and risk of HIV infection in informal urban settlements of Nairobi, Kenya
Objective The objective of this paper is to examine the association between marital status and the risk of HIV infection in the informal settlements of Nairobi. The findings from this study will inform HIV prevention programs, particularly among poor and marginalised groups in the informal settlements. Methods Data are derived from a cross-sectional population-based survey nested in an ongoing Demographic Surveillance System (DSS) in two urban in…
Influence of Maternal Education on Child Immunization and Stunting in Kenya
Scaling up participatory agroforestry extension in Kenya
This paper describes developments in forestry extension in two districts of Kenya conducted under the auspices of the Nakuru and Nyandarua Forestry Extension Project 1990-1995 and the subsequent influence of those developments on extension policy pertaining to agroforestry in Kenya. It provides examples of innovative aspects within a conventional service-delivery programme and describes in some detail the successes, weaknesses, and opportunities …
