A Case Study of Success of Household Chlorination in Haiti Sample Clauses

A Case Study of Success of Household Chlorination in Haiti. The Jolivert Safe Water for Families (JSWF) program which is now under the direction of the NGO Deep Springs International (DSI) is an example of successful implementation of SWS in Haiti. JSWF began in September of 2002 as a pilot that enrolled 200 families and has grown to over 14,000 families in 10 years (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, n.d.; Xxxxxx, 2012a). Two evaluations of the program have found relatively high continued use of the sodium hypochlorite product Gadyen Dlo for those enrolled in the JSWF program. In a 2007 survey of a random sample of JSWF program participants, (Xxxxxx, 2008) found that 64% of Gadyen Dlo users in the JSWF program (n= 198) had positive chlorine residuals in their drinking water at the time of an unannounced survey measuring adoption. Program records showed that in 77% of unannounced household visits made by JSWF program staff, participants’ drinking water tested positive for chlorine residuals (Xxxxxxxxxx et al., 2012). These numbers show sustained use of the SWS method almost 5 years after the program began. In a case-control study of the same program in the summer of 2012, (Xxxxxxxxxx et al., 2012) not only found sustained use of water treatment in those enrolled in the JSWF (79% of participants vs. 32% of controls, p<0.001), but also found sustained health effect in children under 5 years of age. Children in participant households had a 59% reduction in the odds of diarrhea compared to children in control households (OR=0.41, p= 0.008). These studies provide strong evidence of the ability of household chlorination and SWS to provide long-term safe water to communities in Haiti.
