With gender disparities becoming more pronounced in adolescence, inequities have resulted in substantial barriers to women's health in low and middle-income countries, including Kenya. This community-based participatory research study consisted of a mixed methods, cross-sectional community health assessment of households and schools in Kibera, Kenya. 50 households and 8 schools will be identified through community leaders and interviewed in local languages by a Women Public Health Ambassadors . The program culminated in a final data analysis and leadership workshop focused on interpreting data collected and disseminating results to stakeholders at the community, district, national, and international levels in support of public health programs and policies. This CBPR study was carried out in partnership with Project Elimu.
