Epistemonikos: a comprehensive database of systematic reviews for health decision-making.

Background: Systematic reviews allow health decisions to be informed by the best available research evidence. However, their number is proliferating quickly, and many skills are required to identify all the relevant reviews for a specific question.

Methods And Findings: We screen 10 bibliographic databases on a daily or weekly basis, to identify systematic reviews relevant for health decision-making.

Evaluation of consistent use, barriers to use, and microbiological effectiveness of three prototype household water treatment technologies in Haiti, Kenya, and Nicaragua.

Household water treatment (HWT) can improve drinking water quality and reduce diarrheal disease. New HWT technologies are typically evaluated under ideal conditions; however, health gains depend on consistent, effective household use, which is less often evaluated. We conducted four evaluations of three prototype HWT technologies: two filters and one electrochlorinator.
