Journal ArticleDOI
Household-based ceramic water filters for the prevention of diarrhea: a randomized, controlled trial of a pilot program in Colombia.
TL;DR: The microbiologic performance and protective effect of the filters was not uniform throughout the study communities, suggesting the need to consider the circumstances of the particular setting before implementing this intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Household-Based Drinking Water Chlorination on Diarrhoea among Children under Five in Orissa, India: A Double-Blind Randomised Placebo-Controlled Trial
Sophie Boisson,Matthew Stevenson,Lily Shapiro,Vinod Kumar,Lakhwinder P. Singh,Dana Ward,Thomas Clasen +6 more
TL;DR: A double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial was conducted in Orissa, a state in southeast India, to evaluate the effect of household water treatment in preventing diarrheal illnesses in children aged under five years of age.
ReportDOI

Gloria D. Sclar,Gauthami Penakalapati,Heather Amato,Joshua V. Garn,Kelly T. Alexander,Matthew C. Freeman,Sophie Boisson,Kate Medlicott,Thomas Clasen +8 more
TL;DR: Overall, the studies found little to no effect from sanitation interventions on these transmission pathways, and there was no evidence of effects on water quality, hand contamination, hand or sentinel toy contamination, food contamination, or contamination of surfaces or soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Child feces disposal practices in rural Orissa: a cross sectional study.
Fiona Majorin,Matthew C. Freeman,Sharmani Barnard,Parimita Routray,Sophie Boisson,Thomas Clasen +5 more
TL;DR: In the area surveyed, the Total Sanitation Campaign has not led to high levels of safe disposal of child feces, and further research is needed to identify the actual scope of this potential gap in programming, the health risk presented and interventions to minimize any adverse effect.
