Background: Shorter childhood telomere length (TL) and more rapid TL attrition are widely regarded as manifestations of stress. However, the potential effects of health interventions on child TL are unknown. We hypothesized that a water, sanitation,

Delivery of interventions through group sessions allows for in-depth discussions and creates opportunities for group members to work together to identify and solve common problems. However, low attendance may limit impact. We explored factors affecti

Background: There are considerable benefits of point-of-use water chlorination programmes in emergencies but remaining challenges include lack of standard dosing recommendations for water treatment, inappropriate chlorination technologies, and limite
