Congratulations to BU student Mahrukh Saleem, Dr. Teresa Burdett, Senior Academic in Integrated Healthcare and Dr. Vanessa Heaslip, Principal Academic and Deputy Head of Research Department of Nursing & Clinical Science, in the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences on the publication of their paper ‘Health and social impacts of open defecation on women: a systematic review’. This review has been published this month in the international Open Access journal BMC Public Health.
The review identified that open defecation leads to poor health in women with long-term negative effects on their psychosocial well-being, however the review also highlights that open defecation is a poorly researched topic.
Congratulations!
