Contributors: A. Ercumen n
MeSH headings : Adult; Animal Husbandry; Animals; Child, Preschool; Cross-Sectional Studies; Diarrhea / epidemiology; Diarrhea / etiology; Housing; Humans; Infant; Linear Models; Ownership; Poultry; Prevalence; Respiratory Tract Infections / epidemiology; Respiratory Tract Infections / etiology; Risk Factors; Rural Population; Uganda / epidemiology
TL;DR:
Assessment of health outcomes in children aged < 5 years associated with animal presence among 793 rural households in Uganda found that barring chickens from indoor living quarters and sanitary disposal of chicken and other animal feces can reduce childhood zoonotic infections.

Eliciting and Utilizing Willingness to Pay: Evidence from Field Trials in Northern Ghana
Journal of Political Economy, 128(4), 1436–1473.
TL;DR:
This work uses the Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) mechanism to estimate willingness to pay for and heterogeneous impacts of clean water technology through a field experiment in Ghana and explores differences between BDM and take-it-or-leave-it valuations.

The implications of three major new trials for the effect of water, sanitation and hygiene on childhood diarrhea and stunting: a consensus statement
BMC Medicine, 17(1), 173.
Contributors: O. Cumming *, B. Arnold *, R. Ban*, T. Clasen *, J. Esteves Mills *, M. Freeman *, B. Gordon*, n
author keywords: Diarrhea; Undernutrition; Stunting; Water; Sanitation; Hygiene
MeSH headings : Child; Child Health; Diarrhea / etiology; Growth Disorders / etiology; Humans; Hygiene; Poverty; Public Health / methods; Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic; Rural Population; Sanitation; Water / adverse effects
TL;DR:
The view is that these three new trials do not show that WASH in general cannot influence child linear growth, but they do demonstrate that these specific interventions had no influence in settings where stunting remains an important public health challenge.

Microcredit and willingness to pay for environmental quality: Evidence from a randomized-controlled trial of finance for sanitation in rural Cambodia
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 86, 121–140.
