| dc.description.abstract | Every year, an estimated 350,000 children and adolescents are killed in road traffic crashes or by the effects of urban outdoor air pollution, to which road traffic is a significant contributing factor. The road traffic death rate in Malawi in 2016 was 31 per 100,000 populations, among the highest in the world and levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were at least four times the new WHO threshold of 5 μg/m3. Pedestrians account for half of the road traffic deaths in the country and research shows a drastic increase in RTIs in the last decade among children and adolescents, who represent 53.8% of those admitted to hospital. Currently we do not know the best way to simultaneously reduce RTIs and air pollution among children walking to school so this study will address these issues. | en_US |
