Study Population Description: The subject population will be young children and their mothers/guardians living in several contiguous districts of Western Province, in the rural areas outside the towns of Bungoma and Kakamega. Communities must meet the following criteria: - Located in a rural area (defined as villages with <25% residents living in rental houses, <2 gas/petrol stations and <10 shops) - Not enrolled in ongoing WASH or nutrition programs - No chlorine dispensers at water sources installed by programs separate from the present study - Majority (>80%) of households do not have access to piped water into the home - At least six eligible pregnant women in the cluster at baseline. From enrolled communities, household compounds will be enrolled if they meet the following criteria. Inclusion Criteria: 1. One or more women who self-identify as pregnant at the time of the baseline survey 2. The woman plans to stay in the community for the next 12 months. Exclusion Criteria: (1) The study excludes households who do not own their home to help mitigate attrition during follow-up. |

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Infection with ascaris, trichuris, hookworm, and giardia | Infection with soil transmitted helminths (ascaris, trichuris, hookworm) will be enumerated in stool collected from all index children and one older child per study compound. Giardia will also be measured in stool samples collected form these children. Prevalence and eggs per gram of feces will be recorded. | Measured 24 months after interventions began | |
Other | Hemoglobin concentration and anemia | Hemoglobin concentrations will be measured using venous blood samples with a Hemocue 301 analyzer. | Measured 24 months after interventions began | |
Other | Micronutrient status, including iron, vitamin A, folate, and B12 | Iron status will be assessed using the biomarkers of ferritin, soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), and hepcidin. Vitamin A status will be assessed using retinol binding protein. Folate and B12 status will be measured using plasma folate and B12. | Measured 24 months after interventions began | |
Primary | Length-for-Age Z-scores | Child's recumbent length, standardized to Z-scores using the WHO 2006 growth standards, measured 24 months after intervention. Measurement techniques follow the FANTA 2003 protocol. | Measured 24 months after intervention | |
Primary | Diarrhea Prevalence | Diarrhea is defined as 3+ loose or watery stools in 24 hours or 1+ stools with blood in 24 hours. Diarrhea will be measured in interviews using caregiver-reported symptoms with 2-day and 7-day recall, measured 12 and 24 months after intervention. | Measured 12 and 24 months after intervention | |
Secondary | Length-for-Age Z-scores | Child's recumbent length, standardized to Z-scores using the WHO 2006 growth standards, measured 12 months after intervention. Measurement techniques follow the FANTA 2003 protocol | Measured 12 months after intervention | |
Secondary | Stunting Prevalence | Child's recumbent length, standardized to Z-scores using the WHO 2006 growth standards, measured 24 months after intervention. Measurement techniques follow the FANTA 2003 protocol. Children with length-for-age Z-scores < - 2 will be classified as stunted. | Measured 24 months after intervention | |
Secondary | Enteropathy Biomarkers | The lactulose / mannitol dual sugar permeability test will be administered to children. The ratio of the recovery of the two sugars in the urine will be used to calculate the L:M ratio, and we will compare groups using logged values of the ratio. We will measure myeloperoxidase, alpha 1-antitrypsin, and neopterin levels in the stool. We will additionally measure Total IgG antibody titers in the blood, and we will compare groups using logged values of the antibody levels. | Measured 12- and 24 months after intervention | |
Secondary | ASQ Child Development Scores | Interviewers will administer a locally adapted version of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) to children after 24 months of intervention. The ASQ includes item sets of caregiver-reported milestones that measure child development in three separate domains (gross motor, communication, personal/social skills). | Measured 24 months after intervention |
