Abstract

Nudges are environmental changes that “[alter] people’s behavior in a predictable way.” The tested intervention consisted of the following nudges: painted footpath with spray-painted footprints from toilet stall to handwashing station, calendar of handwashing posters, “watching eye” sticker above the handwashing station, and arrow sticker pointing to a soap dish. This report details the results of the evaluation, which are intended to inform scale-up recommendations about the pilot intervention.
