Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Toilet Usability Index [5 months after intervention delivery]

    The Toilet Usability Index is a composite score based on toilet availability, accessibility, and privacy collected through direct observation of facilities.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Soap Use Ratio [5 months after intervention delivery]

    The secondary outcome measure is the soap-use ratio per toilet, which will be calculated based on the weight of soap used in one day divided by the number of toileting events in the same day.
