Behavior Change Theory Related to Household Water Treatment Sample Clauses

Behavior Change Theory Related to Household Water Treatment. One of the biggest challenges to implementation of a household chlorination intervention is that HWT interventions require individuals to change their own personal practices surrounding drinking water. Because the success of HWT is dependent upon individual level behavior change, a few researchers have sought to understand implementation of POU water treatment through the application or adaptation of several different theories of behavior change. (Xxxxxxx & Mosler, 2011) use the Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxx’x Transtheoretical Model (TTM) (1998) to identify six levels of water treatment user groups (regular, irregular, late beginners, relapsers, fluctuaters and non-users) in Zimbabwe and recommend using the psychological factors that distinguish these groups to coordinate campaigns to move all users towards the regular user group. In their study of the uptake of sodium hypochlorite solution WaterGuard in Malawi, (Wood, Foster, & Kols, 2012) use PATH Safe Water Program’s Behavior Change Continuum which combines TTM, diffusion of innovations (Xxxxxx, 1995), and consumer purchase decision process (English, 2010) into a new model of behavior change. In this multistage process potential HWT users move from awareness of the need to treat water and the HWT products available to taking action by learning how to use and purchase the product to maintenance of sustained changes in daily routines that allow for continued use of the product (Figure 2). Many interventions or evaluations of HWT methods have not explicitly documented using theories of behavior change in the past, but (Xxxxxxx & Mosler, 2011)and (Wood et al., 2012) have shown these frameworks to be applicable to POU water treatment. In the face of criticisms by (Hunter, 2009) and (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxx, 2009), more theory-driven evidence-based research is necessary to prove that HWT interventions such as household chlorination are a sustainable solution for increasing access to safe drinking water in developing countries.
