  • Page 1 the Public Health Benefits of Sanitation Interventions
    The Public Health Benefits of Sanitation Interventions EPAR Brief No. 104 Jacob Lipson, Professor Leigh Anderson & Professor Susan Bolton Prepared for the Water & Sanitation Team of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Evans School Policy Analysis and Research (EPAR) Professor Leigh Anderson, PI and Lead Faculty Associate Professor Mary Kay Gugerty, Lead Faculty December 10, 2010 Introduction Limited sanitation infrastructure, poor hygienic practices, and unsafe drinking water negatively affect the health of millions of people in the developing world. Using sanitation interventions to interrupt disease pathways can significantly improve public health.1 Sanitation interventions primarily benefit public health by reducing the prevalence of enteric pathogenic illnesses, which cause diarrhea. Health benefits are realized and accrue to the direct recipients of sanitation interventions and also to their neighbors and others in their communities. In a report to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Hutton et al. (2006) estimate that the cost- benefit ratio of sanitation interventions in all developing countries worldwide is 11.2.2 This literature review summarizes the risks of inadequate sanitation to public health and presents the empirical evidence on the public health benefits of complete, intermediate and multiple factor sanitation interventions. The sanitation literature frequently uses inconsistent terminology to describe sanitation infrastructure, technologies and intervention types. Where feasible, we report study results using the original terminology of the authors, while also using consistent terminology to facilitate comparisons across studies. In this review and in much of the literature, sanitation interventions are defined as improvements which provide public or household fecal disposal facilities, and/or improve community fecal disposal and treatment methods.3,4 Sanitation interventions are distinct from water interventions, which focus on increasing access to clean water or improving water quality at drinking water sources or points of use.

  • Understanding the Effects of Poor Sanitation on Public Health
    Understanding the Effects of Poor Sanitation on Public Health, the Environment and Well-being Report of a study conducted in Homa Bay, Elgeyo Marakwet and Kericho counties in Kenya June 2018 Kenya Country Office Ngong Lane, off Ngong Road P.O. Box 30776, 00100 Nairobi, Kenya Tel.: +254 724 463355 Email: [email protected] Executive Summary Poor sanitation is linked to diarrhoeal diseases, which are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children under five. It is also associated with a number of infectious and nutritional outcomes which have great bearing on the health and well-being of the child. The Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for All (SSH4A) project from SNV Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV) supports the improvement of sanitation services in four counties in Kenya, to help them address some of the pressing challenges they face in providing sanitation for all. This study was commissioned by the Voice for Change Partnership (V4CP) programme to gain more insights into the effects of poor sanitation on public health, the environment and well-being in Kericho, Homa Bay and Elgeyo Marakwet counties. It is expected that these counties will learn from these findings and take steps to improve their water, sanitation and hygiene activities. The findings from the case-control study show that, in general, case households had a bigger burden of sanitation-related disease than control families: slightly more households in the case category had a family member who was treated for sanitation-related illness in the six months before the survey than in the control group. Analysis of disease burden across the three counties shows the households in Homa Bay had experienced a higher burden of sanitation-related illnesses in the previous six months than the other two counties.

  • Evaluating and Reporting Persons Under Investigation (PUI) Summary of Recent Changes
    Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Evaluating and Reporting Persons Under Investigation (PUI) Summary of Recent Changes Revisions were made on March 4, 2020, to reflect the following: Criteria for evaluation of Persons Under Investigation (PUI) were expanded to a wider group of symptomatic patients. Revisions were made on February 28, 2020, to reflect the following: Updated recommendations for specimen collection. Updated March 4, 2020 Limited information is available to characterize the spectrum of clinical illness associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). No vaccine or specific treatment for COVID-19 is available; care is supportive. The CDC clinical criteria for a COVID-19 person under investigation (PUI) have been developed based on what is known about COVID-19 and are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Contact your local or state health department ! Healthcare providers should immediatelyimmediately notify their local " or state " health department in the event of a PUI for COVID-19. Criteria to Guide Evaluation of PUI for COVID-19 As availability of diagnostic testing for COVID-19 increases, clinicians will be able to access laboratory tests for diagnosing COVID-19 through clinical laboratories performing tests authorized by FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Clinicians will also be able to access laboratory testing through public health laboratories in their jurisdictions. This expands testing to a wider group of symptomatic patients. Clinicians should use their judgment to determine if a patient has signs and symptoms compatible with COVID-19 and whether the patient should be tested. Decisions on which patients receive testing should be based on the local epidemiology of COVID-19, as well as the clinical course of illness.

  • Near Roadway Air Pollution and Health
    Near Roadway Air Pollution and Health: Frequently Asked Questions ith more than 45 million people in the United States living, Wworking, or attending school within 300 feet of a major road, airport or railroad there is growing concern about the health impacts of roadway traffic. Below are frequently asked questions EPA receives concerning near roadway air pollution and what EPA is doing to ad­ dress this important health issue. What are the concerns associated with living, working, or attending school near major roads? Air pollutants from cars, trucks and other motor vehicles are found in higher con­ centrations near major roads. People who live, work or attend school near major roads appear to have an increased incidence and severity of health problems associ­ ated with air pollution exposures related to roadway traffic including higher rates of asthma onset and aggravation, cardiovascular disease, impaired lung development in children, pre-term and low-birthweight infants, childhood leukemia, and premature death. Pollutants directly emitted from cars, trucks and other motor vehicles are found in higher concentrations near major roads. Examples of directly emitted pollutants include particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and benzene, though hundreds of chemicals are emitted by motor vehicles. Motor vehicles also emit compounds that lead to the formation of other pollutants in the atmosphere, such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which is found in elevated concentra­ tions near major roads, and ozone (O3), which forms further downwind. Beyond vehicles’ tailpipe and evaporative emissions, roadway traffic also emits brake and tire debris and can throw road dust into the air.

  • A Coordinated, National Approach to Scaling Public Health Capacity for Contact Tracing and Disease Investigation
    A Coordinated, National Approach to Scaling Public Health Capacity for Contact Tracing and Disease Investigation © 2020 Association of State and Territorial Health Officials As the nation looks to restart the economy and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, reopening entirely will depend on expanded public health testing and contact tracing efforts, sustained healthcare system capacity to respond to new outbreaks, and public compliance with existing and new containment and mitigation efforts. More specifically, decisions and plans to restart, recover, and reopen local and state economies rest on three things: (1) local and state COVID-19 testing capacity, (2) the ability of the public health and healthcare system to quickly contain future outbreaks and associated healthcare surges, and (3) public understanding of and compliance with localized stay-at-home orders and other prohibitions on mass gatherings as these restrictions are safely and gradually reduced and eliminated. “Boxing in” COVID-19 will require rapidly scaling our public health capacity at the local, state, territorial, tribal, and federal levels. Resolve to Save Lives President Dr. Tom Frieden has aptly described the “Box It In” approach, which includes four tactics: (1) testing, (2) isolation of all infected people, (3) finding everyone who has been in contact with infected people, (4) quarantine all contacts for 14 days, and (1) re-testing of those people. See Figure 1 below: Figure 1 Source: Resolve to Save Lives. Used with permission. Testing and adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) are vital components needed to reopen but in order to meet current and future demands, we’ll need greater coordination across the international supply chain and greater oversight of national supplies and resources.

  • The Globalization of Public Health: the First 100 Years of International Health Diplomacy David P
    Special Theme – Globalization The globalization of public health: the first 100 years of international health diplomacy David P. Fidler1 Abstract Global threats to public health in the 19th century sparked the development of international health diplomacy. Many international regimes on public health issues were created between the mid-19th and mid- 20th centuries. The present article analyses the global risks in this field and the international legal responses to them between 1851 and 1951, and explores the lessons from the first century of international health diplomacy of relevance to contemporary efforts to deal with the globalization of public health.
