About this cohort

Could not identify USINGA as a published African population cohort or HDSS in current literature. The closest acronym matches in eastern Africa are health-system or NGO programmes rather than longitudinal cohorts. Flagged Low confidence — please verify with APCC whether USINGA refers to a specific cohort, an acronym variant (e.g. 'Usingo', 'Usenge', 'Siaya'), or should be removed/renamed.
