Public ISBD Title : A case-control study of the effect of environmental sanitation on diarrhoea morbidity in Malawi Authors: B. Young ; J. Briscoe, Author Publication Date: 1987 Uniform Titles: Journal of epidemiology and community health Pagination: p.83-88, tab. Layout: Journal Article ISSN (or other code): 0143-005X Languages : English Keywords: Diarrhea  Rural Health  Sanitation  Toilet Facilities  Water Microbiology  Water Supply  Malawi Abstract: A case-control design has been applied in the evaluation of improved environmental sanitation on diarrhoeal diseases in rural Malawi. The study demonstrates the feasibility of using such an approach to evaluate two levels of water supply and sanitation service quickly and at moderate cost. Sample sizes would need to be increased substantially to evaluate multiple levels of service or to investigate interactions between water supply and sanitation. The results indicate that children living in families who use good quality water supplies and latrines experience 20 percent less diarrhoea as reported to the health clinics during the warm; rainy season.
