We conducted a meta-analysis (Figure 1) comparing the effects of interventions to improve sanitation alone with a control arm for diarrhea point prevalence among children under 5 years of age for the 4 studies and found no difference between study arms WMD = -5% (95% CI = -11% to 2%) (Figure 2).
Contexto
What changed: Meta-analysis of four trials testing household sanitation improvements, including latrine construction and behavioral promotion, on under-five diarrhea prevalence. Comparison: Children living in intervention communities compared to control communities. Limits: Few eligible high-quality trials, and young children may experience substantial environmental pathogen exposure outside household latrines.
