Description: Latest release of data (anonymized) collected in informal settlements in Côte d'Ivoire and Kenya during my PhD thesis, with the respective metadata (questionnaire files). Please note that some data (geolocation, specific age of participant, and health facilities used) have been ommitted due to personal data protection concerns.

Includes: Data (CSV), questonnaires (XLS), and Jupyter notebooks summarizing the data (using Python).
