Diarrheal disease prevalence and intervention effect estimates
| Study arm | May 2010 diarrhea period prevalence (%) | June 2010 diarrhea period prevalence (%) | July 2010 diarrhea period prevalence (%) | Diarrhea prevalence over 12-week period (%) | Diarrhea prevalence ratio (95% CI)* | P value† |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control (N = 220) | 49 | 39 | 42 | 43 | − | − |
| WASH BCC (N = 246) | 61 | 20 | 14 | 30 | 0.71 (0.59–0.86) | 0.0857 |
| Filter (N = 235) | 10 | 10 | 6 | 9 | 0.21 (0.15–0.30) | 0.0286 |
| Filter and WASH BCC (N = 203) | 16 | 11 | 9 | 12 | 0.27 (0.22–0.34) | 0.0286 |
Calculated using a GEE using a Poisson distribution adjusted for study clusters.
P values were calculated using Wilcoxon scores (rank sums) with the exact method (two sided).
