- Interventions to improve water quality for preventing diarrhoea: systematic review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “In the case of the household based interventions, most trials were carried out in settings with sufficient water, which may mean that these results cannot be generalised to locations where water supplies are inadequate. Our conclusions about source based interventions should not be interpreted to ex”
- Effect of hand hygiene on infectious disease risk in the community setting: a meta-analysis. (2008, result): “Two of the earlier meta-analyses focused solely on the effect of hand washing with soap and water on gastrointestinal illness in lesser-developed regions of the world.(57,61) The third meta-analysis, by Rabie et al.”
- Hygiene, Sanitation, and Water: Forgotten Foundations of Health (2010, background): “There is good evidence to justify promotion of hand washing with soap [11], but for other aspects of hygiene behaviour, such as proper disposal of children’s stools [12], the epidemiological evidence is from observational studies, which are subject to confounding.”
- Burden of disease from inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene in low- and middle-income settings: a retrospective analysis of data from 145 countries (2014, result): “This approach is, thus, more conservative than previous estimates (Curtis & Cairncross 2003).”
- Community health workers in low-, middle-, and high-income countries: an overview of their history, recent evolution, and current effectiveness. (2014, background): “Current estimates are that hand washing, if practiced at the proper times and with soap or ash, could reduce the deaths of 1 million children each year (34).”
