ClinConnect Summary

The CHoBI7 trial is studying a new way to reduce cholera infections and promote better water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices in areas where cholera is common. The goal is to help families affected by cholera by improving their access to clean water and sanitation facilities. The researchers are specifically looking at neighborhoods around cholera cases to see if this targeted approach can make a difference in preventing the disease and encouraging lasting good hygiene habits.

To participate in the trial, you need to have a household member who has cholera and does not have running water in their home. Importantly, anyone can join the study, regardless of age, gender, religion, or sexual preference. If you choose to take part, you can expect to receive support and resources to help improve your home’s water and sanitation conditions. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and everyone involved will be contributing to important research that could help many families in the future.
