Survey results are representative of the adult household-based population in Kenya in September 2011, as defined in Figure 1. aAll statistics are weighted percentages unless otherwise noted. bBolded values indicate statistically significant differences at or below the .05 level (adjusted Wald test of association used) between “female” and “male”. cBolded values from this point forward indicate statistically significant differences at or below the .05 level, calculated using a two-sample t-test for the difference between two proportions for each set of characteristics within each column.
