Findings from these eight community health units illustrate the complex challenges faced by policy makers, program planners, and managers in establishing, maintaining, and sustaining effective and functional community health units in different socio demographic contexts.

In children, MUAC over 135mm (13.5cm), green colour, indicates that the child is well nourished, i.e. normal MUAC Similarly, figures 4 and 5 show there was more improvement in health indicators in the intervention sites compared to non-interventions sites, and in the same vein, the change in indicators measured were different for different socio-demographic contexts.
The model in this study has shown that most of the components can be taken up and sustained with different interventions for different socio-demographic contexts.
However, there were some interesting differences across different demographic groups.
These models are not designed to be fitted to detailed data on specific species but rather are intended to provide general insights on the relative importance of different demographic mechanisms in the population context.
The findings highlight differences in the measurement structure and score distribution of the 'Weak-not-Sick' and 'Dangerous-Undesirable' scales when used in different cultural and demographic contexts.
There is need to balance priorities on the uptake and elements of the Community Health Strategy in different socio-demographic contexts in Kenya.
