Understanding the Effectiveness of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Interventions: A Counterfactual Simulation Approach to Generalizing the Outcomes of Intervention Trials
Brouwer A, Zahid M, Eisenberg M, Arnold B, Ashraf S, Benjamin-Chung J, et al.
Environ Health Perspect . 2024 Dec; 132(12):127003. PMID: 39705040
