| Summary: | An expert panel exercise was conducted to assess feasibility and potential effectiveness of 10 emerging health interventions against
childhood diarrhoea. Twelve international experts were invited to take part in a CHNRI priority setting process. This group used 12
different criteria relevant to successful development and implementation of the emerging interventions, nine of which were retained in the final analysis. They showed most collective
optimism towards developing household or community-level water treatment, followed by sustainable, affordable latrine options;
those two emerging interventions were followed by antibiotic therapy of Cryptosporidium diarrhoea, and oral or transcutaneous
enteric vaccine development. |
