Cooking fuel frequency use in urban Uganda: addressing household air pollution.

This study examines the frequency use of cooking fuels by residents of four urban areas in Uganda (Kampala, Lira, Soroti, and M'bale). The specific objective is to identify urban dweller characteristics influencing the frequency of use of fuelwood, charcoal, kerosene, gas, or electricity in daily cooking. An ordered probit regression uses the survey data to estimate five relationships of cooking fuel use frequency generating measures of probability use in response to socio-demographic, income, and location characteristics.
