Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Note: the sample consists of villages that have received at least one public handwashing station from BRAC, rather than human participants, though the investigators are measuring the use of the stations by human participants.
- The initial sample of villages has been chosen from a set of 1,899 villages identified by BRAC as being eligible for this project based on criteria related to COVID-19 cases, existing BRAC programs and village characteristics. The villages are spread across 3 of Bangladesh's 8 divisions, 8 of its 64 districts, and 20 of its 492 subdistricts ('upazilas'). While most of the 'villages' are located in rural parts of Bangladesh, roughly 15 percent are better characterised as wards or towns within urban and peri-urban municipalities.
- Villages identified by BRAC as being eligible for this based on:
- COVID-19 cases
- Existing BRAC programs
- village characteristics
- viable location for a handwashing station (space/water source)
- local community members willing to 'sponsor' and maintain handwashing station
Exclusion
- Lack of viable location for a handwashing station.
- Villages that received handwashing stations as part of the pilot phase
- Villages randomly selected in a related impact evaluation measuring the impact of the stations themselves
