Sponsor's own description
Understanding how different types of visual prompts and props could impact handwashing practices in humanitarian emergency settings could allow organisations managing camps to deliver hygiene interventions tailored to populations in humanitarian crises. The study aims to test how liquid soap, bar soap and the use of a mirror could impact handwashing behaviours. As such, this research could lead to participants increased handwashing, which should lead to decreased disease transmission of important infectious diseases. With the compliance of NGOs, and the working relationship that will be formed, the results of the research will be shared directly with them. It is likely they will immediately act on any findings.
