Brief summary
The goal of this study is to explore the perceived attributes, acceptability, and use of various improved handwashing facility designs. The study aimed to establish what are the characteristics of handwashing facilities (attributes) that are prioritized among various groups of potential end users and how do existing improved HWF designs rank according to these preferences? Also how acceptable are promising HWF designs among multiple groups of potential end users in a real-world setting, how do potential users adapt and modify existing HWF for use in their homes.
