Findings from this recent publication help identify where water provision is most relevant to managing COVID-19 spread and outcomes.

Kayoko Shioda (Post-Doctoral Fellow) and co-authors apply modeling approaches to help quantify the magnitude of SARS-CoV-2 infection underestimation and adjust estimates for waning antibodies.

Matt and Bethany discuss handwashing with soap is one of the most cost-effective public health interventions. Yet water inequity magnifies health disparity, making a simple behavior unattainable for the world’s poorest unless urgent action is taken.

As part of the SWASH+ project, this paper takes a mixed-methods approach to assess sanitation delivery in schools in Kenya over 3–4 years and investigated prevailing drivers and barriers that may influence the scalability of private sector sanitation delivery.

Directives to self-quarantine and social distance are essential to slow the spread of COVID-19, but how can people follow these directives if they do not have a household toilet? Matt and Bethany discuss.

Our study shows that factors other than WASH access, such as intra-household transmission, animal feces exposure, and environmental contamination may be important risk factors for enteric infections. These results highlight the challenges of addressing enteric infections using many of the existing WASH intervention approaches

Using color theory principles, we are developed and tested a novel metric that generates quantitative measures of facial and hand cleanliness, proxy indicators of personal hygiene practices - known as the “Quantitative Personal Hygiene Assessment Tool (qPHAT)”

This longitudinal evaluation in 11 Sub-Saharan Africa and Asian Countries revealed a successful model of rural sanitation service delivery.

This study outlines our approach to developing a theory- and evidence-based intervention that integrated a set of WASH and nutrition behaviors to target growth shortfalls among young children in western Kenya.

This paper reports on an expert meeting convened by the WHO and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to present five key consensus messages as a basis for wider discussion and debate in the WASH and nutrition sectors.

The design of a parallel cluster-randomized trial assessing the impact of a demand-side sanitation and hygiene intervention on sustained behavior change and mental well-being in rural and peri-urban Amhara, Ethiopia.

Despite recent declines in attributable mortality, inadequate WASH remains an important determinant of global disease burden, especially among young children.
