Retraction

This article [1] has been retracted by the editors of BMC Research Notes because, contrary to the statement in the manuscript, Moi University Institutional Research and Ethics Committee (IREC) has confirmed that ethics approval was not obtained to conduct this study. In addition, the authors did not have permission to use data from the DREAM program.
