Presentation Transcript

  1. WSH course overview Joe Brown, TA, KCMG, OBE

  2. Take home messages so far: • WSH and health are inextricably linked • This burden is not equally distributed around the world: poor people suffer • The situation is complex • References: Prüss-Üstün et al. (2004, 2007)

  3. Premises • The problem requires action at the global and local levels • Given the many strategies for achieving WSH-related health goals, we must be able to think critically about each • Improving public health: the allocation of scarce resources

  4. We are going to: • Learn how these burdens and effects of interventions/infrastructure are measured • Monitoring and evaluation • Exposures (microbiology) and outcomes (health/diarrheal disease) • Draw on our tools: QMRA and epidemiology • Learn about technologies and practices and how they are assessed • Critically evaluate these assessments

  5. You should be asking yourself • What criteria and methodologies should we use in evaluating WSH interventions/infrastructure to achieve health goals? • What are the relative advantages and disadvantages of current technologies and methods? • How do health priorities for WSH enter into development, globally? Where can we make improvements?
