Abstract

A recent study of the impact of improved water supply, latrines, and health education in Guatemala showed no decline in diarrhoeal morbidity. A re‐analysis of the data using a different control group shows that there was a significant decrease in rates of diarrhoeal morbidity in the community which received the intervention. Children aged one to seven who experienced the greatest incidence of diarrhoea at the inception of the study benefitted most from the improved conditions.
