On “We still need a RCT powered for Mortality”, someone from GW could confirm, but I heard through the grapevine that they are going to fund Kremer to do a large multi-country RCT powered for mortality to get at these very questions.
Thanks yeah a couple of people mentioned this too, but the interwebs were not forthcoming lol. I just hope that they organise the study to answer the “why”, as well as get a more definitive answer to the mortality question.
It’s interesting that they would ask Kremer to do the study though. I wouldn’t have thought he was a medical researcher who was experienced with this kind of RCT, but maybe he would be more of a high level organiser.
I don’t think of this as really a medical intervention FWIW—it’s a community level water infrastructure intervention, which is very much in his wheelhouse (would also be in the wheelhouse of other folks tbc).
Thanks, super-interesting!
