Résumé:
Cette étude compare les capacités cognitives entre des enfants ayant bénéficié d’un accès à l’assainissement dès leur plus jeune âge et des enfants qui n’ont pas bénéficié d’assainissement total. Les résultats montrent que l’accès à l’assainissement favorise le développement des capacités cognitives, notamment dans le domaine de la lecture. Abstract:

The findings show that access to sanitation can help improve childhood cognitive skills, particularly reading ability.
