Join us for a free webinar on August 12 from 10 – 10:45 AM EST! We will have professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan, Andrew Brouwer, share his work investigating and modeling WASH intervention performance.

Webinar summary: We know that diarrheal disease is greatly reduced in communities with robust water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure, with mutually reinforcing levels of community and individual protection. However, many large-scale trials have reported less-than-expected or null results for the efficacy of WASH interventions. Our work aims to mechanistically evaluate the possible reasons underlying suboptimal reductions in diarrhea among intervention households in a large RCT in Bangladesh, using simulations to estimate the trial results might have under different circumstances. By factoring in local conditions, we can better understand why some WASH trials don’t show the expected results and design future efforts to be more effective.
