From: Associations between school- and household-level water, sanitation and hygiene conditions and soil-transmitted helminth infection among Kenyan school children

  1. *Defined as infection by at least one of the following: hookworm, A. lumbricoides, T. trichiura. †Improved sources are defined by the UNICEF/WHO joint monitoring programme (wssinfo.org). ¶OR and IRR represents the change in infection for each ten unit increase in a school’s pupil per latrine ratio. §Higher score indicates greater cleanliness/structural integrity. Grey color or hatch fill indicates a significant association between groups at p < 0.05, as shown in the key above. p-values for prevalence estimates based on random effects logistic regression; p-values for infection intensity estimates based on random effects negative binomial regression. ¶ Measured using eggs per gram of faeces
