After one year of remote learning in China, Chengyi finally managed to arrive at New Haven. Welcome, Chengyi! The whole city is waiting for you to explore.

This project is funded by the Reckitt Global Hygiene Institute. This project aims to apply estimate the relationship between extreme precipitation, floods, or drought and risk of childhood diarrhea in LMICs, and to evaluate whether these effects are modified by water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) practices. Team Kai Chen, PhD, Principal Investigator Robert Dubrow, MD,Continue reading “New project to examine the associations between extreme precipitation, floods, or drought and childhood diarrhea in Low- and Middle-Income Countries”
