With rapid urbanisation and poor economic performance new challenges emerge for NCD prevention in the region. This project aimed to contribute to knowledge on the epidemiology of NCD in SSA by exploring the linkages between factors in the socioeconomic and socio-cultural environments, perceived risk for getting cardiovascular disease (CVD) and health-related behaviour among slum dwellers. Specifically it aimed to estimate the levels and determinants of perceived risk for CVD, prevalence of risk factors for CVD and to describe the relationship between perceived risk and health related behaviour. Understanding these context-specific factors informed the design of prevention programs. Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed. A random sample of 5000 adults in the Nairobi Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System area were interviewed.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2008-01-14","end":"2009-10-02","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"KENYA","abbreviation":"KEN"}],"geog_coverage":"Two informal settlements, Korogocho and Viwandani, in Nairobi City (the capital city) of Kenya.","analysis_unit":"Individuals","universe":"The survey covered persons recruited in the NUHDSS and aged 18 and above years.","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The study aimed to address the following questions:\n\n1.
