Study summary

This study measures effects of water filters and filter types on household health in Ciudad Victoria, Mexico.

Read the detailed description

A project to assess the water quality in Ciudad Victoria, Mexico and the effectiveness of different Sawyer PointOne Filter types (Bucket, Tap, Squeeze) . The project is designed to 1) assess the impact of filters on health and well-being of families, 2) assess the impact of filters on the economic status of families and 3) compare different filter formats for use/adoption on the above metrics. The project will provide information about how well the different filters are working in urban households in a middle-income Latin American country, make recommendations for future deployment of filter types in similar settings, and determine the potential for scaling the use of filter systems to provide clean drinking water for people in need in future projects.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in self-reported diarrhea rates from initial filter distribution to end of follow up

    Self-reported diarrhea rates in households surveyed at distribution of the water filter and at each follow up visit.

    Time frame: 3 months follow up

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in other self-reported health outcomes from distribution to end of follow up

    Other health outcomes related to waterborne illness (such as fever, vomiting, muscle aches, rashes, etc.) which are also self-reported in the household surveys.

    Time frame: 3 months follow up

  2. Change in household economic outcomes from distribution to end of follow up

    Household economic outcomes related to costs of water and waterborne illnesses (such as money spent on water, money spent on medical costs, days of work missed due to diarrhea, etc.) which are also self-reported in the household surveys.

    Time frame: 3 months of follow up
