Encouraging LPG Adoption in Ghana: A Factorial Randomized Clinical Trial to Enhance LPG Adoption & Sustained Use
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Behavior, Consumer, Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice, Health Attitude
In brief
Household air pollution (HAP) is a top-priority public health problem in developing countries. According to the most recent comparative risk assessment, 3.5 million people die prematurely each year as a result of HAP exposures. While uncertainties remain regarding causal links between HAP exposures and health, the time is ripe for focused research into effective interventions. Limited past research has shown that the demand for clean cookstoves is low, and that households continue to use traditional hearths even when they have clean stoves. The investigators propose to harness an existing cohort in Ghana to study factors that increase the adoption of clean cookstoves, and to test strategies to promote adoption and continued use.
