Quantitative data collected in the Stronger-SAFE trial for the purpose of determining the metrics to use to measure final behaviour change outcomes in the trial. The trial includes face washing promotion, with final outcomes assessed at 36 months. The data available here were collected from participants in North Shewa, Ethiopia, at baseline and 3-month follow-up using a combination of face-to-face interviews (survey, pictorial recall exercise and facial cleanliness assessment) and structured observation. Metrics cover number of times that the participant’s face was washed with soap during the observation period, who performed the face wash task, availability of water and soap in the household, participant demographics, and other information.
Data collected through face-to-face interviews, questionnaire, and observations. Further information outlined in the 2024 PLoS NTDs paper by Greenland et al. entitled “Comparison of metrics for assessing face washing behaviour for trachoma control”.
