Filter by:The goal of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to assess the effectiveness of the hands4health multi-component hand hygiene intervention in patients and health care providers in primary health care facilities in Burkina Faso and Mali. The main question it aims to answer is: * Can the hands4health multi-component hand hygiene intervention have a positive effect on the health determinants of our study population? Participants will be structurally observed for assessing their handwashing behavior, answer to a self-reported RANAS survey and provide a hand-rinse sample at base line, follow-up and end line. In addition specific pre-defined health outcomes and absenteeism will be tracked with a journal approach in the facilities. Intervention facilities will receive a Gravit'eau handwashing system, a RANAS behaviour change intervention, WASH FIT support, and chlorination support. Control facilities will receive nothing at the beginning, but once all of the data is collected, they will receive the same intervention as the intervention facilities have received. Researchers will compare the intervention and control groups to see if the hands4health intervention has any positive effects on the populations health determinants (e.g. handwashing behavior, perceptions towards hand hygiene, perceived risks, etc.).
