Measuring behavioural outcomes when promoting household water treatment and storage
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:07 authored by Orlando HernandezThis document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of three indicators to measure behavioural
outcomes associated with household water treatment and storage: volume of sales, volume of liters of water
treated, and percent of households practicing effective water management. It suggests that the last indicator
may be the most adequate for capturing technologies available for household water treatment. The measures
proposed to capture the indicator are more effective than self-reports, as they are based on spot-checks or
simple water quality tests when water is treated with a chlorine solution. Yet, collecting data on psycho-social
determinants of practices will be useful to program managers. Modifications to the questions to capture
treatment practices using solar disinfection are also suggested. The document ends with additional input
provided by participants from an e-conference organized to discuss the paper.
