What are the Epidemiological Methods Used to Assess Water Sanitation?
Epidemiologists use various methods to assess the effectiveness of water sanitation projects: - Surveillance: Monitoring the incidence and prevalence of waterborne diseases before and after project implementation. - Case-Control Studies: Comparing disease rates between communities with and without water sanitation interventions. - Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs): Evaluating the impact of specific interventions in controlled settings. - Geospatial Analysis: Mapping disease outbreaks in relation to water sources to identify hotspots.
