Clinical Trial Summary

Consumer preferences for POU technologies vary across consumers and products, and largely determine their adoption and subsequent usage. This is a marketing study that asks which products consumers prefer and why, and what is their willingness to pay, as understanding this is crucial to attain their widespread adoption and usage.

Description:

Visit 400 households and distribute 1 of 3 different POU technologies on randomized basis for a two-month trial. Cycle each household through trials with all 3 technologies in random order such that at the end of 6 months all households have experienced 2-month trials with each technology.
