  • An Overview of Mental Health Care System in Kilifi, Kenya
    Bitta et al. Int J Ment Health Syst (2017) 11:28 DOI 10.1186/s13033-017-0135-5 International Journal of Mental Health Systems RESEARCH Open Access An overview of mental health care system in Kilif, Kenya: results from an initial assessment using the World Health Organization’s Assessment Instrument for Mental Health Systems Mary A. Bitta1*, Symon M. Kariuki1, Eddie Chengo2 and Charles R. J. C. Newton1,3 Abstract Background: Little is known about the state of mental health systems in Kenya. In 2010, Kenya promulgated a new constitution, which devolved national government and the national health system to 47 counties including Kilif County. There is need to provide evidence from mental health systems research to identify priority areas in Kilif’s men- tal health system for informing county health sector decision making. We conducted an initial assessment of state of mental health systems in Kilif County and documented resources, policy and legislation and spectrum of mental, neurological and substance use disorders. Methods: This was a pilot study that used the brief version of the World Health Organization’s Assessment Instru- ment for Mental Health Systems Version 2.2 to collect data. Data collection was based on the year 2014. Results: Kilif county has two public psychiatric outpatient units that are part of general hospitals. There is no stan- dalone mental hospital in Kilif. There are no inpatients or community based facilities for people with mental health problems. Although the psychiatric facilities in Kilif have an essential drugs list, supply of drugs is erratic with frequent shortages. There is no psychiatrist or psychologist in Kilif with only two psychiatric nurses for a population of approxi- mately 1.2 million people.

  • Addressing Sexual Violence and HIV Risk Among Married Adolescent Girls in Rural Nyanza, Kenya Prepared by Chi-Chi Undie
    promoting healthy, safe, and productive transitions to adulthood Brief no. 19 March 2011 Addressing sexual violence and HIV risk among married adolescent girls in rural Nyanza, Kenya Prepared by Chi-Chi Undie arried adolescent girls form a large segment of Kenyan youth, yet they are largely overlooked by researchers and program Mmanagers concerned with the lives of adolescents. As evidence demonstrates, this neglected population of married girls is likely to be vulnerable and in need of support. HIV infection is much higher among adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa than among boys. In settings such as Nyanza Province, Kenya, rates of HIV infection are extremely high, and evidence is increasing in some settings that girls who are mar- ried are much more likely to be infected with HIV, compared with their unmarried sexually active counterparts. Sexual violence and HIV/AIDS are a lethal combination. Research indicates that the risk of HIV infection following forced sex is likely to be higher than following consensual sex. Finding ways to tackle sexual violence and HIV infection simultaneously has therefore become a major public health endeavor. Married adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to sexual vio- lence; however, there is a lack of data to guide intervention efforts specifically for such girls because they have largely remained invisible in programs. This brief describes a program addressing the problem of sex- ual violence and the risk of HIV transmission within marriage in Kenya’s Nyanza Province. The program was based on the Population Council’s analysis of the 2003 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS) as well as on formative research within rural Nyanza.
