| Abstract | This guide accompanies a storyboard presentation which can be displayed on an IBM-compatible personal computer with a colour monitor. The presentation attempts to explain how countries facing cholera can assess their options for action in water, sanitation, and hygiene education to halt or slow the spread of the disease. The presentation argues that an effective assessment must take into consideration both the direct causes of the diesease and the indirect or contributing factors, such as weak sector institutions, lack of administrative ability, or the absence of appropriate laws and regulations. The presentation endeavours to broaden the discussion from cholera to feacal-oral diseases in general and to stress that prevention through the provision of water and sanitation is the cheapest cure in the long term. Although this presentation might be used as a self-instructional tool, it was designed mainly to be used by WASH staff or consultants. The presentation is divided into five sections: a. Why there is a problem; b. assessing the options; c. transmission and prevention; d. epidemiology; and e. review. |
