  • Effectiveness of interventions to improve drinking water, sanitation, and handwashing with soap on risk of diarrhoeal disease in children in low-income and middle-income settings

    Open AccessJennyfer Wolf, Sydney Hubbard et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2022

  • The implications of three major new trials for the effect of water, sanitation and hygiene on childhood diarrhea and stunting

    Open AccessOliver Cummings, Benjamin F Arnold et al.ARTICLEBMC Medicine2019

    BACKGROUND: Three large new trials of unprecedented scale and cost, which included novel factorial designs, have found no effect of basic water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions on childhood stunting, and only mixed effects on childhood diarrhea. Arriving at the inception of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, and the bold new target of safely managed water, sanitation and hygiene for all by 2030, these results warrant t…

  • Burden of disease from inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene for selected adverse health outcomes

    Open AccessAnnette Prüss-Üstün, Annette Prüss‐Üstün et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Hygiene…2019

    BACKGROUND: To develop updated estimates in response to new exposure and exposure-response data of the burden of diarrhoea, respiratory infections, malnutrition, schistosomiasis, malaria, soil-transmitted helminth infections and trachoma from exposure to inadequate drinking-water, sanitation and hygiene behaviours (WASH) with a focus on low- and middle-income countries. METHODS: For each of the analysed diseases, exposure levels with both suffici…

  • An Integrated Risk Function for Estimating the Global Burden of Disease Attributable to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Exposure

    Open AccessRichard T Burnett, C Arden Pope et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Health Perspectives2014

    Background: Estimating the burden of disease attributable to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in ambient air requires knowledge of both the shape and magnitude of the relative risk (RR) function. However, adequate direct evidence to identify the shape of the mortality RR functions at the high ambient concentrations observed in many places in the world is lacking.Objective: We developed RR functions over the entire global expo…

  • Solid Fuel Use for Household Cooking

    Open AccessSophie Bonjour, Heather Adair‐Rohani et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Health Perspectives2013

    BACKGROUND: Exposure to household air pollution from cooking with solid fuels in simple stoves is a major health risk. Modeling reliable estimates of solid fuel use is needed for monitoring trends and informing policy. OBJECTIVES: In order to revise the disease burden attributed to household air pollution for the Global Burden of Disease 2010 project and for international reporting purposes, we estimated annual trends in the world population usin…

  • Worldwide burden of disease from exposure to second-hand smoke

    Open AccessMattias Öberg, Maritta S Jaakkola et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2011

  • GRADE for the advancement of public health

    Eva Rehfue, Eva A Rehfuess et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011References: 3

    The recent debate in this journal about the applicability of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to public health interventions is both important and timely.1 2 To say it upfront, we are enthusiastic about the transparent, systematic, comprehensive and nevertheless straightforward way in which GRADE guides its users in judging the quality of evidence and in classifying the strength of a recommend…
