Local and national governments implement these large-scale projects with technical support from WSP. Handwashing with soap at critical times-such as after contact with faeces and before handling food-has been shown to substantially reduce the incidence of diarrhoea. It reduces health risks even when families do not have access to basic sanitation and water supply. Despite this benefit, rates of handwashing with soap at critical times are very low throughout the developing world. Global Scaling Up Handwashing aims to test whether handwashing with soap behaviour can be generated and sustained among the poor and vulnerable using innovative promotional approaches. The goal of Global Scaling Up Handwashing is to reduce the risk of diarrhoea and therefore increase household productivity by stimulating and sustaining the behaviour of handwashing with soap at critical times in the lives of 5.4 million people in Peru, Senegal, Tanzania, and Vietnam, where the project has been implemented to date. In an effort to induce improved handwashing behaviour, the intervention borrows from both commercial and social marketing fields. This entails the design of communications campaigns and messages likely to bring about desired behaviour changes and delivering them strategically so that the target audiences are \u201csurrounded\u201d by handwashing promotion via multiple channels. One of the handwashing project's global objectives is to learn about and document the long-term health and welfare impacts of the project intervention. To measure magnitude of these impacts, the project is implementing a randomized-controlled impact evaluation (IE) in each of the four countries to establish causal linkages between the intervention and key outcomes. The IE uses household surveys to gather data on characteristics of the population exposed to the intervention and to track changes in key outcomes that can be causally attributed to the intervention.\n\nThe objective of the IE is to assess the effects of the handwashing project on individual-level handwashing behaviour and practices of caregivers. By introducing exogenous variation in handwashing promotion (through randomized exposure to the project), the IE will also address important issues related to the effect of intended behavioural change on child development outcomes. In particular, it will provide information on the extent to which improved handwashing behaviour contributes to child health and welfare. The primary hypothesis of the study is that improved handwashing behaviour leads to reductions in disease incidence, and results in direct and indirect health, developmental, and economic benefits by breaking the faecal-oral transmission route. The IE aims to address the following research questions and associated hypotheses:\n\n1. What is the effect of handwashing promotion on handwashing behaviour?\n2. What is the effect of improved handwashing behaviour on health and welfare?\n3. Which promotion strategies are more cost-effective in achieving desired outcomes?","coll_dates":[{"start":"2009-09","end":"2009-11","cycle":"Beseline"},{"start":"2010-11","end":"2011-01","cycle":"Endline"}],"nation":[{"name":"Viet Nam","abbreviation":"VNM"}],"geog_coverage":"Regional","analysis_unit":"Households","universe":"The Vietnam Scaling Up Handwashing IE baseline survey collected information from a representative sample of the population targeted by the intervention.

Thus, a sufficient sample size was calculated to capture a minimum effect size of 20 percent on the key outcome indicator of diarrhoea prevalence among children under two years old at the time of the baseline. By focusing on households with children under two, the evaluation aims to capture changes in outcomes for the age range during which children are most sensitive to changes in hygiene in the environment. Power calculations indicated that approximately 1,050 households per treatment arm would need to be surveyed in order to capture a 20 percent reduction in diarrhoea prevalence, and in order to account for the possibility of household attrition during the project study phase. Therefore, since the evaluation consists of two treatment groups and one control group, the total sample incorporates 3,150 households, each of which has at least one child under two years of age at the time of the survey. Rather than using simple random sampling, which is much more costly, the study randomly sampled households in clusters at the commune administrative level. Households were randomly selected from a sampling frame of 210 communes randomly selected from 15 districts in three provinces. Data were collected using structured questionnaires in all 3,150 households and in each of the 210 communes (one per commune).","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","cleaning_operations":"1. Baseline: The baseline survey was processed using the assistance of Sistemas Integrales in Chile. A manual for the data entry system is attached under the title of: Data Entry Manual: Baseline.\n\n2. Endline: Kimetrica International was contracted to design the data reduction system to be used during the endline. The data entry system was designed in CSPro (Version 4.1) using the DHS file management system as a standard for file management. Details of the system can be found in the attached manual entitled: Data Entry Manual for the Endline Survey.\n\nThe data entry system was based on a full double data entry (independent verification) of the various questionnaires. CSPro supports both dependent and independent verification (double keying) to ensure the accuracy of the data entry operation. Using independent verification, operators can key data into separate data files and use CSPro utilities to compare them and produce a report that indicates discrepancies in data entry. The DHS system uses a fully integrated tracking system to follow the stages in the data entry process. This includes the checking in of questionnaires; the programming of logic in what is known as a system controlled environment. System controlled applications generally place more restrictions on the data entry operator. This is typically used for complex survey applications. The behaviour of these applications at data entry time has the following characteristics: \n\n- Some special data entry keys are not active during data entry.\n- CSEntry will keep track of the path.\n- 'Not applicable' or blanks values will not be allowed. Missing values have to be coded.\n- More appropriate to the heads up methodology of data capture.\n- Logic in the application is strictly enforced; operator cannot bypass or override.\n\nFiles were processed using the unique cluster number and then concatenated after a final stage of editing and output to both SPSS and STATA. Furthermore, attempts were made to respect the values and the naming conventions as provided in the baseline. This required using non-conventional values for \u201cmissing\u201d such as -99. In most cases the same value sets were applied or during the questionnaire review process the WSP was alerted to such discrepancies."},"analysis_info":{"response_rate":"Approximately 87% of the persons interviewed in the baseline were re-interviewed in the endline.","data_appraisal":"The data files as they are output in CSPro follow the hierarchical structure as established in the data dictionary. These however may not be convenient for the analyst. The WSP requested that the files be integrated into various record level files. The files that are included in the final data base reflect this structure. However, some analysts may still want the hierarchical level data available in its original record form (as it was during data entry). For that reason, these files are also zipped together and provided in the event that they are desired. The final data files are provided in STATA format as requested by the WSP. Although there was no formal or independent appraisal of the data, an appraisal was undertaken when the data files for: Peru, India and Vietnam were prepared for a WSP presentation in Mexico. These data were presented in a public forum and scrutinized by various analysts. There was a process of feeding back information which helped correct or format or revise the data."}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"See https:\/\/microdata.worldbank.org\/index.php\/terms-of-use","required":"yes","form_no":"","uri":""}],"cit_req":"Use of the dataset must be acknowledged using a citation which would include:\n- the Identification of the Primary Investigator\n- the title of the survey (including country, acronym and  year of implementation)\n- the survey reference number\n- the source and date of download\n\nWorld Bank Water and Sanitation Program.
