Abstract

This study identifies multiple pathways connecting household water insecurity with child nutrition. Using nationally representative samples for 18 countries, we examine the mediating role of child's dietary diversity as a function of household water status, while also accounting for sanitation. We construct a latent household water insecurity score (HWI) and use Structural Equation approach to model underlying pathways. HWI affected child's HAZ score and hemoglobin both directly and indirectly, with a mediation from child feeding alongside effects from sanitation. Broadening the conception of household water insecurity and accommodating the indirect effects of water could improve explanations of child under-nutrition.

超越 "讲卫生运动"：在多国背景下测试家庭用水不安全与儿童营养结果之间的其他联系》（Byond WASH: Testing Additional Connections Between Household Water Insecurity and Child Nutrition Outcomes in Multi-Country Contexts）。

本研究确定了家庭用水不安全与儿童营养之间的多种联系途径。我们利用 18 个国家具有全国代表性的样本，研究了儿童饮食多样性作为家庭用水状况函数的中介作用，同时还考虑了卫生条件。我们构建了一个潜在的家庭用水不安全评分（HWI），并使用结构方程法建立了相关路径模型。家庭用水不安全指数直接或间接地影响了儿童的 HAZ 分数和血红蛋白，儿童喂养与卫生条件的影响同时起着中介作用。拓宽家庭用水不安全的概念并考虑用水的间接影响，可以更好地解释儿童营养不良问题。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
