Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a matched-cohort study designed to assess the health impact of a rural demand-driven water and sanitation intervention that provides piped treated water and household level pour-flush latrines and bathing rooms, as implemented by Gram Vikas.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We will undertake a matched-cohort study among 84 villages in Ganjam district, Orissa, India to assess the health impact of a program that provides improved water supplies and sanitation to rural villages.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention group

Rural villages in which Gram Vikas has fully implemented its water supply and sanitation (Mantra) intervention. Intervention villages must: 1) be within 3 hours travel to the study office in Brahmapur, 2) have started the intervention by January 2003, and 3) have completed the intervention by January 2013.

Improved water supply and sanitation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Village-level reticulated water supply with distribution to household taps; pour-flush pit latrines.

Control group

Rural villages that have been matched with intervention villages on demographics and other criteria. The sampling frame for control villages is limited to those: 1) within 3 hours travel to the study office in Brahmapur, and 2) within Gram Panchayats which do not include an intervention village and are not adjacent to an intervention village, to minimize spillover effects. In addition, both intervention and control villages must appear in the Government of India Census in 2001.
