Household Health Systems |
The Household Health Systems research group is a new group that draws together disparate activities of the Department that deal with interventions at the family and household levels concerning, for example, water, sanitation, indoor air pollution, vector protection (e.g. insecticide-treated nets), community/home-based management for malaria and pneumonia, and early childhood development. The intention is to discover how household health practices and behaviours can be better integrated with formal public services and become integral and supported parts of the health system. Our expertise combines household intervention trial capacity with health systems analysis capacity.
