Who is studied
The study will specifically target residents of the Central Division of Fiji, which accounts for approximately 42.7% of Fiji's total population. Most inhabitants are located within the Nausori-Lami corridor, a region characterized by a mix of urban, peri-urban, and rural areas. The Central Division is also notable for its ethnic diversity, comprising Indigenous iTaukei, Indo-Fijians, and other minority groups, making it representative of Fiji's broader demographic composition.
