Safe Water Community Project in Jalisco, Mexico

In this study, we aim to determine the association between the use of unsafe water and the incidence of acute diarrhea and AKI, and to determine if the provision of clean water decreases these complications. The study will be conducted in 3 communities of the municipality of Poncitlan. Initially, we will determine the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) characteristics in the population and evaluate the incidence of diarrheal disease. In the observation phase, outcomes will be assessed after families receive training in WASH techniques, but before they are provided with clean water. In the intervention phase, outcomes will be assessed after clean water is provided.Ann Nutr Metab 2019;74(suppl 3):51 –56
