Does piped water reduce diarrhea for children in rural India?
Abstract
This brief summarizes the results of a gender impact evaluation study, entitled Does piped water reduce diarrhea for children in rural India?, conducted between 1993 and 1994 in India. The study observed the impact of piped water in reduction of diarrhea among children under five in rural India on the child level. There is a significant positive impact of piped water on diarrhea prevalence and duration in children under five. There are no health gains from piped water amongst the poorest 40 percent of the population. Health gains also are smaller for households with less-educated mothers. Funding for the study derived from the Bank's Research Support Budget.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
