Scientific title	Integrated environmental home-based intervention package for child survival: a community randomised trial
Study acronym	Peru-IHIP
Study hypothesis	An immediate and massive reduction of household burden of disease in childhood (acute respiratory infection [ARI], diarrhoea, nutrition-related illness/factors) will have a measurable impact on rural livelihoods and home economies.
Ethics approval(s)	1. Institutio Nacional de Salud (Peruvian Ministry of Health), 12/03/2008 2. Comite Etica Investigation of the Instituto de Investigation Nutritional (IIN), 20/08/2008 3. Ethics Committee of Basel, Switzerland (EKBB), 15/09/2008
Condition	Diarrhoea, acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI), pneumonia
Intervention	Intervention arm: improved stoves, kitchen sink and hygiene, solar drinking water disinfection Control arm: early childhood psychomotoric stimulation The improved stoves and kitchen sink and water treatment hardware was built and introduced in the households of the intervention arm together with the hygiene component from October 2008 to January 2009. Solar water disinfection treatment was introduced January 2009. Reinforcement of the intervention messages was continuously every 2 - 3 weeks during the follow up period. Anthropometric measurements were taken monthly. In the control arm, the psychomotoric stimulation package was explained and first delivery of the early stimulation toys was provided according to the child's age in December 2008 - January 2009. Subsequent deliveries of the psychomotoric stimulation tools and toys were according to the development level of the individual child (assessed two-monthly) during follow up. The follow up period for data collection and monitoring lasted over 12 months from February 2009 to January 2010.
Intervention type	Other
Primary outcome measure	1. Diarrhoea incidence, longitudinal prevalence from daily diarrhoeal illness assessments, recorded by field investigators during weekly home visit for the entire 12 months follow-up period 2. Child growth parameters, taken monthly during the follow up
Secondary outcome measures	1. Compliance to use interventions, recorded by field investigators during weekly home visit for the entire 12 months follow-up period 2. Bacterial load reduction in drinking water and kitchen cloths exposed to sunlight, recorded by field investigators during weekly home visit for the entire 12 months follow-up period 3. Acceptability of the intervention and uptake in the control group after study end Individual psychomotoric child development indicators are assessed every two months during home visit for the entire 12 months follow-up period.
