Muhuru Bay

The "Multi-Level HIV Prevention in Rural Kenya: Addressing the Individual and Setting-Level Factors Contributing to HIV Among Youth" study was conducted in 2008 in Muhuru Bay, Kenya. Data were collected on HIV risk factors and various mental health measures, including the SDQ, CDI, RBG, PTSD Reaction Index for Children/Adolescents, and an adaptation of the Things I Have Seen and Heard Scale. The study population is comprised of 325 adolescents and their legal guardians. Adolescents were randomly selected from among students enrolled in Standards 5-8 in the 14 schools (9 public, 5 private) in the Muhuru Division of Nyanza, Kenya. Adolescent participants were between the ages of 9 and 18. A caregiver for each enrolled adolescent participant also participated in the study. Both adolescent and caregiver participants completed a one-time, 90-min structured interview administered by research assistants, conducted in the local language Dholuo. All data within the AMANI collection is restricted to protect confidentiality.
