Dirt floors linked to baby deaths: concrete swap may prevent stillbirths
NCT ID NCT07620613
First seen Jun 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 07, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether replacing dirt floors with concrete in rural Bangladeshi homes can reduce stillbirths and deaths in the first month of life. Researchers will follow 196 households where a pregnant woman lives, comparing those who get concrete floors to those who keep soil floors. The goal is to see if a simple home improvement can prevent infant deaths up to 6 years later.
