Congratulations Gaby Halder- Investigator of Water Sanitation and Diarrheal Illness in Rural Honduras

Kudos to VCU medical student Gabriela Halder. As a member of our 2011 Honduras medical relief brigade, Gaby completed a research project on water sanitation and self-reported diarrheal illness. 

This project was presented at the American Public Health Association Annual Meeting in 2011, where she was awarded 1st place in the International/Global Health Student Assembly’s poster presentation. Gaby was also recognized by the VCU School of Medicine.

The manuscript, titled “Water sanitation, access, use and self-reported diarrheal disease in rural Honduras” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Rural and Remote Health. 

The publication is expected in March/April of 2013.

Stay tuned.
