Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH)-related diseases pose significant health challenges for children worldwide, with schools serving as critical settings for WASH investments. This paper examines the perceived barriers and facilitators for handwashing behavior change in the context of a school-based WASH program implemented by the nonprofit Splash International in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We identified influential factors using the Behavior Centered Design framework to qualitatively code teacher and student semistructured interview data. Our findings indicate that knowledge-based, emotional, and social interventions were perceived to encourage handwashing, while physical infrastructure constraints and time limitations were considered impediments. These results underscore the necessity of adopting comprehensive approaches that address both hardware and software factors of handwashing behavior change. We recommend that future school WASH research and practice further examine the effects of time constraints and water intermittency on WASH behaviors to inform intervention design.
This study explored the barriers and facilitators of school-based WASH programs on student handwashing to inform intervention design.
