Can improved handwashing infrastructure and soap change behavior? findings from a randomized control study in the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya
Enhanced handwashing facilities, consistent soap provision, and improved water access substantially increased HWWS in this refugee setting. Soap availability was critical for sustaining behaviors, while the Jengu facility prompted short-term gains. Integrated WASH interventions combining infrastructure, supply continuity, and behavior change strategies are essential for lasting hygiene improvements in humanitarian contexts
