Summary

The objective of this research is to evaluate an intervention focused on increasing latrine use in rural Odisha India. The present study builds off of previous research, which resulted in the design of an intervention to increase latrine use. This research evaluates the intervention designed to determine if significant increases in latrine use are observed among those who received the intervention compared to those that did not. Qualitative research will supplement trial data collection to help explain findings and understand perceptions of the intervention.

Qualitative Research

For villages receiving the intervention package, investigators will engage community members through qualitative interviews to gain their perception of the intervention, what they thought of the intervention activities, what information they recall, what aspects they enjoyed or disliked, if they had barriers to attendance or participation. For the three villages not receiving the intervention, investigators will conduct qualitative interviews to determine additional barriers and determinants of latrine use to identify other potential intervention strategies.
