Humanitarian Field Studies. Cholera Response in Haiti. Hygiene Promotion: Determining What Works. Oxfam (2012)
When a massive earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010, followed by a cholera epidemic that broke out in October of that year, Oxfam rushed assistance—clean water, sanitation, and hygiene materials and information—to hard-hit areas to protect public health. Oxfam engaged in a wide range
of hygiene promotion activities to encourage washing hands—specifically, washing hands with soap at key moments, such as before eating and after defecation. But which of our interventions have been the most effective, and why? In June 2011, researchers undertook a cross-sectional, correlational study of communities that had experienced Oxfam hygiene-promotion activities.
