Interview Data on Tobacco Control Law Implementation in Kenya

Interview data for a study by Catherine Egbe, published on figshare in 2026, exploring the awareness and implementation of Kenya's tobacco control laws. The dataset comprises 22 key informant interviews with law enforcers and policy implementers, analyzed with NVivo 12 software. It focuses on facilitators and barriers to enforcing the ban on single-stick cigarette sales.

Use Cases

• Analyzing institutional and political barriers to public health policy implementation based on interview themes.
• Training NLP models on qualitative interview transcripts from a public health enforcement context.
• Studying stakeholder awareness and knowledge gaps regarding specific legal provisions like the single-stick sales ban.
• Identifying facilitating factors for policy enforcement, such as political will and administrative support, from qualitative data.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 22 key informant interviews with a defined respondent profile (implementers and enforcers).
• Specific results are provided, such as 18 respondents knowing the principal Tobacco Control Act and 21 having little knowledge of the single-stick ban provision.
• Interview methodology is clearly described, using a semi-structured schedule and NVivo 12 for analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The raw description is truncated, missing the full context of the findings.
