研究概览
简要总结
Vaparshun intervention aimed to inspire the target audience to use a toilet. It aimed to revalue their toilets by recognizing that they provide benefits associated with the motives of hoard, create, convenience (comfort) and affiliation, and provide a reward pathway for transitioning to a new toilet use routine.
详细描述
Our intervention consists of four different streams of activity. The outcome is that family members and men improve and use their contractor-built toilets. The activities are listed below.
- Create Motive:
Toilet Makeover: Conduct a lottery and perform makeovers of select government built toilets in the village, with the involvement of the community. Demonstrate improvements in comfort (light, space, ventilation, latrine chair/handle) and aesthetics (stencil painting of door and walls).
Challenge/Opportunity: Many of the 'contractor' toilets are built with low engagement from family members and are uncomfortable to use. People are left with toilets they are not proud of or engaged with.
Insight (from 'makeover' trial): If families invest in creating an attractive toilet they are be more likely adopt and use them.
