Applied Implementation Research for Clean Cooking in Cambodia
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Exposure to Environmental Pollution, Exposure to Household Air Pollution
In brief
The goal of this study is to learn how to help families in Cambodia switch to using electric induction stoves instead of traditional stoves that burn wood or charcoal. The study will also look at whether this switch is safe, affordable, and sustainable over time. The main questions researchers want to answer are: * What strategies work best to encourage families to use induction stoves regularly and stop using traditional cooking methods? * Does switching to induction cooking reduce household air pollution for primary cooks? * What are the costs and benefits of these strategies? To answer these questions, researchers will compare different strategies across 65 peri-urban villages in Cambodia. They will use data loggers to track when families use induction stoves or traditional stoves, and measure air pollution levels in the home before and after families receive induction stoves. Participants will: * Receive an electric induction stove and support based on their group's strategy * Have their stove use tracked through special devices * Take part in air pollution measurements in their homes * Share information about their cooking habits and experiences
