Description

This dataset contains information collected as part of the quantitative component of a mixed-methods study to investigate end-user preferences for hand hygiene enabling technologies in peri-urban Lusaka, Zambia. Data was collected from 81 individuals who participated in focus group discussions (FGD) held in two communities during Jan-Feb 2024. The dataset is comprised of 11 tables, the name of which indicates the topic of assessment. Variables include the handwashing facility or attribute being ranked, the grade assigned, and participant information. Participant information covers ID value, participant group, FGD location, and whether they participated in phase 1 (qualitative component).

Methods

Description of data capture

In focus group discussions, participants were firstly asked to individually rank eight handwashing facilities from best to worst against eight attributes: appearance, convenience, ease of use, hygienic use, maintenance, vulnerability, water disposal, water management. Ties were permitted. Participants were then asked to rank each HWF by their overall preference from most to lease desirable. Estimated retail prices (based on cost price from manufacturer or distributor as well as shipping for HWFS manufactured outside Zambia) were then shared and participants were asked to again rank by overall preference. Finally, participants were asked to rank each of the attributes from most to least important.
