During the monsoon season, diarrhea prevalence among children in the control group was 8.3% (95% CI 6.6%, 10.0%) and among children with improved WASH prevalence was 4.3% (95% CI 3.4%, 5.2%) [prevalence difference = 4.0% (95% CI 2.2%, 5.9%), prevalence ratio = 1.9 (95% CI 1.5, 2.5)]
Contexto
What changed: Households received combined water (Aquatabs and safe storage), sanitation (improved latrines), and handwashing (stations with soap) interventions. Comparison: Double-sized control group receiving no intervention. Limits: Outcome is caregiver-reported diarrhea (subject to reporting bias) and trial clusters excluded flood-prone areas.
