  • Hazard analysis and critical control points for foods consumed by children aged 6–24 months in Maputo, Mozambique

    Open AccessÁlvaro Manhiça, Clara MacLeod et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Diarrhoeal disease remains a significant cause of mortality among children under five, particularly in high-burden settings where food consumed by young children is frequently contaminated. Understanding food preparation, feeding, and storage practices for children aged 6–24 months is essential to inform interventions that reduce diarrhoeal disease. Using the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) approach, we identified critical con…

  • Effectiveness of domestic food hygiene interventions on the microbiological quality of child food and childhood diarrhoea

    Open AccessLaura Braun, Clara MacLeod et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    Background Foodborne diseases are an important cause of global morbidity and mortality, particularly among children who often experience diarrhoeal illnesses linked to foodborne enteric infections. Evidence on the effectiveness of interventions to reduce diarrhoea remains limited. This review synthesised evidence on the effectiveness of domestic food hygiene interventions on microbiological quality of child food and diarrhoea in children under fi…

  • Community-Led Total Sanitation implementation in Malawi

    Open AccessMindy Panulo, Kondwani Chidziwisano et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2026

    Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) seeks to eliminate open defecation by empowering households to adopt improved sanitation and hygiene behaviours. While widely integrated into national sanitation strategies of low- and middle-income countries, limited evidence exists on how implementation processes drive behaviour change. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation fidelity, reach, dose, adaptation, and mechanisms of impact of a CLTS inte…

  • Wash and learn

    Open AccessSarah Bick, Katherine Davies et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    School-age children in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) face health and educational challenges due to inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in schools (WinS). Evidence for the impact of WinS interventions is limited and inconsistent, and previous systematic reviews have faced challenges in synthesising data due to varied interventions, study designs and outcome measures, although most do not examine this variability in mor…

  • The impact of community based interventions for the prevention and control of soil-transmitted helminths

    Open AccessSommy C Ugwu, Michael O Muoka et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) are among the most common human infections worldwide and a major cause of morbidity. They are caused by different species of parasitic worms and transmitted by eggs released in faeces or when hookworm larvae penetrate the skin. The main control strategy in endemic regions is periodic treatment with deworming medication. In the last 10 years, there has been a scale-up of prevention and control activities with a fo…

  • Inclusion of persons living with disabilities in a district-wide sanitation programme

    Open AccessKatherine Davies, Mindy Panulo et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Community-led total sanitation (CLTS) is embraced as a key strategy to achieve universal sanitation coverage (Sustainable Development Goal 6.2). Although inclusion is identified as a predictor of CLTS success, people living with disabilities are often excluded from community sanitation programmes and there is limited research exploring CLTS participation amongst people living with disabilities. This study aims to explore the extent to which peopl…

  • Will Households Invest in Safe Sanitation? Results from an Experimental Demand Trial in Nakuru, Kenya

    Open AccessRachel Peletz, Caroline Delaire et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Unsafe sanitation is an increasing public health concern for rapidly expanding cities in low-income countries. Understanding household demand for improved sanitation infrastructure is critical for planning effective sanitation investments. In this study, we compared the stated and revealed willingness to pay (WTP) for high-quality, pour-flush latrines among households in low-income areas in the city of Nakuru, Kenya. We found that stated WTP for …

  • Groundwater Management in California’s Central Valley

    Clara MacLeod, Linda Estelí Méndez-BarrientosARTICLECase Studies in the Environment2019

    In the state of California, groundwater serves 85% of Californians for at least part of their water. During the last drought (2011–2016), a high proportion of domestic wells went dry, most of which were located in disadvantaged communities (DACs) in the California Central Valley. Prior to 2014, voluntary groundwater management plans (GMPs) existed as one of the main groundwater governance options. However, little is known about the adoption of th…
