  • Prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension and their determinants

The results also reveal that men are less aware of their hypertension status hence special attention should focus on this group

  • Prevalence and predictors of injuries in Kenya

Our study findings highlight the need to scale up interventions for injury prevention for specific injury mechanisms and target groups. There is need for sustained road safety mass media campaigns and strengthened enforcement on helmet wearing, seatbelt use and drink driving
