Trial of Safe Water Storage Among People Living With HIV

Randomized Controlled Trial of Safe Water Storage Among People Living With HIV

Environmental health-related pathogens include faecal-oral, diarrhoeagenic microbes that may be transmitted via drinking water and are related to sanitation and hygiene. Previous research has suggested that safeguarding household drinking water against recontamination may be a critical intervention that can reduce risks of diarrheal diseases and may be especially important for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and other vulnerable populations (Clasen et al. 2007). The investigators propose here a randomised, controlled trial of a household safe storage container for drinking water in a well defined, HIV-impacted population in peri-urban Lusaka, Zambia. After a baseline data collection period (9 months) half of all households (150 households) will be given a safe water storage container specifically designed to prevent recontamination of water in household use. All households will be followed for an additional 9 months. Results of this study will help determine whether this promising water quality intervention can reduce diarrhoea and related outcomes in this and similar vulnerable populations.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Specific Aim #1: To assess environmental health-related risk and outcomes in a low income peri-urban area of Zambia with a high percentage of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) (longitudinal observational cohort study and baseline) (Year 1). We will assemble a rich dataset on environmental health-related risk factors in a well defined population, with a focus on household drinking water quality and other water, sanitation, and hygiene (WSH) exposures.

Specific Aim #2: To quantify the WSH-related disease burden among PLWHA, compared with those without HIV/AIDS (individual and household level stratification) (conclusion of baseline). After nine months of data collection, we will perform an initial analysis to determine WSH-related risk by HIV status.

Specific Aim #3: To assess the impact of a water quality intervention on the longitudinal prevalence of Highly Credible Gastrointestinal Illness (HCGI) among PLWHA (randomized controlled trial, year 2). We will conduct a randomised, controlled trial of a safe water storage intervention. We will assess the health impacts of this intervention, with particular focus on the high-risk groups of PLWHA and children under 5 years of age.

Våpen og intervensjoner

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Eksperimentell: Safe storage device
This arm will be assigned a safe water storage device.
This device is a specially designed water storage container that is intended to reduce the likelihood of re-contamination of household stored drinking water.
Ingen inngripen: Control
This arm of the trial will receive nothing until the end of the trial.

Hva måler studien?

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Self-reported diarrheal disease
Tidsramme: 18 months
Self-reported diarrheal disease information will be collected from each study participant monthly. These data will be collected monthly with 24 hour, 48 hour, and 7-day recall. Data will be assessed at 18 months (change from baseline).
18 months

Sekundære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Weight-for-age z-score
Tidsramme: 18 months
Weight-for-age z-scores will be taken for all children who are aged less than 48 months ("under 5s") at the start of the trial and monthly during the trial. These data are useful in tracking short-term wasting, associated with diarrheal disease events. Data will be assessed at 18 months (change from baseline).
18 months
E. coli and total coliforms in household drinking water
Tidsramme: 18 months
Microbiological indicators of fecal contamination of drinking water at the household level. Samples will be taken from all households monthly. Data will be assessed at 18 months (change from baseline).
18 months
Salivary antibody response
Tidsramme: 18 months
We will collect salivary samples from all consenting individuals (an additional consent form is required) to gather information on IgG and IgA response to specific diarrheal pathogens using a multiplex assay. This measure provides useful information on both outcomes of interest (diarrheal disease) and exposure to diarrheagenic pathogens. Samples will be taken at three time points: the beginning, midpoint, and end of the trial. Data will be assessed at 18 months (change from baseline).
