Summary
A major global public health priority is to identify effective methods for preventing deaths from pesticide self-poisoning. The aim of this work is to determine whether the provision of lockable storage containers to poor households in rural Asia can reduce the incidence of intentional pesticide self-poisoning. Secondary questions include the effect of these containers on unintentional pesticide poisoning in children and overall self-harm.
