Case-area targeted interventions and free chlorine residual in household drinking water: An observational cohort study during a cholera outbreak in Northeast Nigeria
These findings suggest that CATIs improved household drinking water FCR, a key protective measure against cholera, in Northeast Nigeria. Our research highlights factors associated with FCR concentrations <0.2 mg/L post-CATI in Adamawa and Borno, offering valuable insights for response planning, and overall supports the continued use of CATIs in humanitarian settings.
