About the Cover
Cover. On the cover this month, a female teacher assists a young girl in washing her hands after using a sanitary latrine in a preschool run by a Baptist church in North Khway Ye village in Pyay district, Myanmar. See the meta-analysis by Allison E. Aiello et al. in this issue (p. 1373) to quantify the effect of hand hygiene interventions on the rates of gastrointestinal and respiratory illnesses and identify interventions that provide the greatest efficacy.
