Abstract
37 Background There is increasing evidence of the efficacy of point-of-use water filters on diarrhea 38 prevalence in numerous global settings, in both observational studies and randomized experiments. Most 39 studies, however, are focused on rural locations. Methods We use self-report household surveys to 40 monitor a set of approximately 10,000 households receiving point-of-use water filters and WASH training 41 in Kibera, Kenya. Twenty-five drinking water sources throughout the 7 neighborhoods were also selected 42 for testing of E. coli, total coliform, bacterial 16S rRNA community sequencing and metals. Albendazole 43 was provided to all households at distribution as part of the standard filter distribution protocol, with a 44
