| Hygiene |
Hygiene is a core domain of work at the Hygiene Centre.
We have a long-standing interest in promoting hand washing
with soap, but more generally seek to devise strategies
for getting people to prevent their own exposure to disease
through good hygienic practices. |
|
| Water |
Household-level water treatment is the most effective
means of improving the quality of water going into, or
onto, people's bodies. At the Hygiene Centre, we have
a particular view on how best to promote household adoption
of technologies for home water quality improvement. |
|
| Sanitation |
Providing access to sanitation in developing countries
has been problematic for a very long time. We believe
that creating market demand and supply of sanitation facilities
is the way forward in this vital domain. |
|
Schools |
Children are particularly susceptible to learning new
things, including healthy behaviours for personal hygiene
and sanitation. The Hygiene Centre specialises in the
latest thinking about how to motivate children at this
crucial stage of life. |
|
Behaviour |
Getting people to modify their existing patterns of behaviour
underlies nearly all public health intervention strategies,
and certainly is central to all of the programmes promoted
by the Hygiene Centre. For this reason, we invest heavily
in developing the most effective behaviour change techniques
applicable to the public health sector.
