Clean Air Intervention

"Based on findings from preliminary focus groups/in-depth interviews, staff will introduce various components of established clean air interventions to each household. Each household will receive interventions, depending on their known risk factors, exposures, and willingness to trial the intervention.~Study staff will ask the primary cook to complete a time-activity diary during the intervention period that includes cooking episodes, duration of cooking, stove(s) used, type of food cooked, and number of people for whom the meal was cooked. Staff will continuously monitor use of the LPG/pellet stove and any other stoves owned by the household with the Berkeley Stove Use Monitoring System, a temperature logger attached to the stove to quantify the number of stove uses / time of use . Study staff will use similar loggers to monitor use of other devices installed including the air purifiers, lighting etc."
