Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: Completed
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 3000

Inclusion Criteria

1. Household heads representative of households in two study districts (Hatia and Jamalpur) will complete surveys, which will include information about all household members (all ages, male and female, almost exclusively ethnic Bengalis) and women, all ethnicities in Bangladesh (all speak Bangla)
2. The inclusion of pregnant women in the pilot project is necessary because the health behaviors of pregnant women in selecting household fuel sources are important because of their implications for the health of both women and unborn foetuses

Exclusion Criteria

A representative sample of household heads from study regions was chosen. In some cases we selected men, and in others we selected women (and so women were excluded in the former, men in the latter). Otherwise, there were none.
