Measuring the Impact of Novel Enteric Diagnostics - How Many Children's Lives Can Be Saved?

Acute diarrhoeal disease is the second-leading cause of death in young children. Many researchers, including us at McMaster University and the Botswana-UPenn Partnership, have been working on developing better and faster ways to diagnose these infections, but the impact of these novel enteric diagnostics has not yet been formally measured. We will conduct a clinical trial in Botswana to determine how many young children's lives can be saved by the implementation of these new technologies.
