Abstract

This paper aims to identify research priorities, using the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative's (CHNRI's) method, for global childhood diarrhoeal disease over the next 15 years. Despite a range of discovery-related research topics, implementation research questions related to known interventions for childhood diarrhoeal diseases were ranked highly by most experts.
