Neighbour-Shared
Versus Communal Latrines in Urban Slums: a Cross-Sectional Study in Orissa, India Exploring Household Demographics, Accessibility, Privacy, Use and Cleanliness.
Heijnen et al, 2015. Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine &
Hygiene. A growing proportion of the global population rely on shared sanitation facilities, despite their association with adverse health outcomes. This paper explored differences between neighbour-shared and communal latrines and found significant differences
in terms of user demographics, access, facilities and cleanliness that could potentially explain differences in health.
Development
of a Multi-dimensional Scale to Assess Attitudinal Determinants of Sanitation Uptake and Use Dreibelbis et al, 2015. Environmental Science & Technology.This paper outlines the findings of a study seeking to identify and measure the determinants
of uptake and use of sanitation facilities in rural Odisha, India, and then develop and validate a psychometrically robust scale of attitudes towards latrine uptake and use based on a parsimonious set of survey questions for use in future research. The study
was conducted in the context of a cluster randomized trial assessing the impact of sanitation interventions on child health outcomes.
Socio-Economic
Dynamics in Slums and Implications for Sanitation Sustainability in Kisumu, Kenya Simiyu, 2015. Development in Practice.This paper summarises the findings of Sheillah Simiyu’s SHARE-funded PhD. A mix of social, cultural, economic,
