Assessment of the Feasibility and Acceptability of Using Water Pasteurization Indicators to Increase Access to Safe Drinking Water in the Peruvian Amazon

Abstract: Approximately two billion people lack access to microbiologically safe drinking water globally. Boiling is the most popular household water treatment method and significantly reduces diarrheal disease, but is often practiced inconsistently or ineffectively. The use of low-cost technologies to improve boiling is one approach with potential for increasing access to safe drinking water. We conducted household trials to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of water pasteurization indicators (WAPIs) in the Pe… Show more

“…Across the 36 included studies, four explicitly defined their acceptability measure: ("things liked and not liked" [ 21 ]; "social acceptance, i.e., the willingness of users to receive and use a technology” [ 22 ]; “An acceptable behaviour is one in which participants are willing to adopt and practice, that is feasible, practical, beneficial, and can be adjusted through negotiation” [ 23 ]; and “participant’s satisfaction with use of the models” [ 24 ]). For the remaining studies, we extracted implicit definitions based on provided interview/survey results or terminology used by the authors.…”

“…There was a lack of consistency among conceptualisations of acceptability and associated measures in WASH intervention studies, limiting their comparability and usefulness to inform intervention sustainability. While all 36 included studies claimed to measure acceptability, most did not provide a theoretical basis for their acceptability study design methods, and only four explicitly defined their acceptability measure [21][22][23][24]. The first limitation arising from such inconsistency is that studies that used subjective measures, such as 'feelings towards' the intervention, missed other potentially key components such as 'willingness to purchase' or levels of use and vice versa.…”

“…Sampel jamu telah mengalami pengolahan yang menyebabkan jumlah mikroba yang terkandung menjadi sedikit. Pemanasan pada makanan atau minuman hingga mendidih dapat menurunkan risiko terkena diare secara signifikan (Heitzinger et al, 2020). Hasil ini hanya memperkirakan keberadaan bakteri koliform, tidak menunjukkan apakah sampel tersebut dapat dikonsumsi atau tidak.…”
