Persons with disabilities support services needs and utilization in Kenya: a study in preparation of a disability policy brief

Description

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD (Physiotherapy) / The interaction between impairment and environmental factors impose a
certain degree of incapacity on individuals, often undermining their freedom to function.
Despite the fact that this disablement may require support services to forestall loss of
function, little research has been conducted in Africa and the Sub-Saharan region, more
specifically in Kenya, to explore persons with disabilities support services needs and
utilization. There is also a paucity of information on predictors of PWDs' use of existing
support services. In addition, Kenya lacks a disability policy.
