Abstract:

Young people today face many health-related challenges. This report is designed to help program managers, parents, church groups and other people and organizations working with youth to understand some of these challenges. Drawing from the most recent Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, this report outlines the latest information about Kenya’s young people, age 15 to 24. The Demographic and Health Survey collected data from more than 11,500 women and men nationwide including more than 4,000 young women and men age 15-24.
