Journal ArticleDOI
Water, sanitation and hygiene for the prevention of diarrhoea.
Sandy Cairncross,Caroline Hunt,Sophie Boisson,Kristof Bostoen,Valerie Curtis,Isaac Chun-Hai Fung,Wolf-Peter Schmidt +6 more
TL;DR: The evidence is nonetheless strong enough to support the provision of water supply, sanitation and hygiene for all, and the striking effect of handwashing with soap is consistent across various study designs and pathogens, though it depends on access to water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of a rural sanitation programme on diarrhoea, soil-transmitted helminth infection, and child malnutrition in Odisha, India: a cluster-randomised trial
Thomas Clasen,Thomas Clasen,Sophie Boisson,Parimita Routray,Belen Torondel,Melissa Bell,Oliver Cumming,Jeroen H. J. Ensink,Matthew C. Freeman,Marion W. Jenkins,Mitsunori Odagiri,Subhajyoti Ray,Antara Sinha,Mrutyunjay Suar,Wolf-Peter Schmidt +14 more
TL;DR: The intervention increased mean village-level latrine coverage from 9% of households to 63%, compared with an increase from 8% to 12% in control villages, and increased exposure to faecal pathogens and preventing disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interventions to improve water quality and supply, sanitation and hygiene practices, and their effects on the nutritional status of children
Alan D. Dangour,Louise Watson,Oliver Cumming,Sophie Boisson,Yan Che,Yael Velleman,Sue Cavill,Elizabeth Allen,Ricardo Uauy +8 more
TL;DR: To evaluate the effect of interventions to improve water quality and supply, provide adequate sanitation and promote handwashing with soap, on the nutritional status of children under the age of 18 years and to identify current research gaps, 14 studies from 10 low- and middle-income countries were evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interventions to improve water quality for preventing diarrhoea
Thomas Clasen,Kelly T. Alexander,David Sinclair,Sophie Boisson,Rachel Peletz,Howard H. Chang,Fiona Majorin,Sandy Cairncross +7 more
TL;DR: There was substantial heterogeneity in the size of the effect estimates between individual studies, and the primary outcome in most studies was self‐reported diarrhoea, which is at high risk of bias due to the lack of blinding in over 80% of the included studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of drinking water, sanitation and handwashing with soap on childhood diarrhoeal disease: updated meta-analysis and meta-regression
Jennyfer Wolf,Paul R. Hunter,Paul R. Hunter,Matthew C. Freeman,Oliver Cumming,Thomas Clasen,James K Bartram,Julian P T Higgins,Richard B. Johnston,Kate Medlicott,Sophie Boisson,Annette Prüss-Ustün +11 more
TL;DR: The main objective was an updated assessment of the impact of unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) on childhood diarrhoeal disease.
