Abstract

This study reviews and synthesizes early childhood education interventions implemented by school teachers to prevent cholera in Nairobi slums during a specific period. A thematic analysis approach was employed to review existing literature on early childhood education practices related to cholera prevention. School teachers implemented a variety of hygiene education sessions aimed at parents, which showed significant improvement (p < 0.05) in handwashing behaviour among caregivers. Early interventions by school teachers had a notable impact on reducing the incidence of childhood diarrhea through improved hygiene practices. Future programmes should focus on integrating teacher training and community engagement to sustain these educational efforts effectively. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
