We are evaluating if and how improvements in water supply in urban areas of Mozambique reduce or delay enteric pathogen infection, alter gut microbiome composition, and affect enteric dysfunction and other health outcomes in infants.
QUEST
This research aims to the establish baseline measures of WASH conditions, child health, and women’s empowerment before the delivery of a neighborhood wide sanitation and drainage intervention in informal neighborhoods of Quelimane, Mozambique.

SWIFT II
SWIFT II is a continuation of the first trial (WUHA I). WUHA I is an ongoing cluster-randomized trial in rural Ethiopia designed to determine the effectiveness of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) for trachoma.
WASH Modeling
In collaboration with researchers from the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan we aim to develop a transmission modeling framework to support evidence-based context-specific WASH intervention planning.
WASH Reporting
We aim to develop and operationalize a gold-standard, easily adoptable approach for how researchers, policymakers, and practitioners report the implementation and context of hygiene and WASH interventions.
