Description
In this issue of the Journal, Kosek and colleagues report the results of an exercise conducted by leading experts in diarrhoea, ranking different topics in diarrhoea research according to their potential to contribute to a substantial reduction in diarrhoeal disease by 2015 in accordance with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) (1). It is always easy to criticize the outcome of such expert panels. Inevitably, some researchers may feel that the merits of their particular research field were not sufficiently appreciated. It can be argued, however, that such exercises are useful if the results are interpreted appropriately. In summing up the scores allocated to different research options, the authors found that priority was given predominantly to medical interventions and to health services research aiming at scaling up their delivery. Efficacy trials and health services research relating to rotavirus vaccination, zinc supplementation, and low-osmolarity oral rehydration solutions consistently achieved the highest scores.
