Table 1.

Indicators and metrics used to measure intervention fidelity and adherence.

Measure Indicator Metrics of assessment Data source
Intervention Fidelity Continuous LPG fuel delivery # days between request for refill (or identification of refill need by fieldworkers) and LPG cylinder delivery Surveys
% intervention participants reporting traditional stove use because they ran out of LPG
Timeliness of repairs # and types of repairs made Surveys
# days between problem identification and successful repair
# repairs per intervention participant
Behavioral reinforcement of exclusive LPG use % intervention participants who reported using traditional stove due to problems or concerns with LPG Surveys
# times intervention participants reported concerns with LPG
% intervention participants with observed traditional stove use who later received behavioral reinforcement
# days between observation of traditional stove use and reinforcement visit
Intervention Adherence Disuse of traditional stoves in intervention households* % of days with traditional stove use SUMs
% intervention households with no traditional stove use
% intervention households with < 1 day of traditional stove use per month
# days with traditional stove use per month
Average minutes of traditional stove use per day
% intervention households where traditional stove use was ever observed Observations of traditional stove use
# observations of traditional stove use per intervention household
% observations indicating traditional stove use
LPG stove use by intervention participants % intervention participants who reported exclusive LPG use across the study visits Surveys
% days with LPG stove use SUMs
# days with LPG stove use per month
Minutes of LPG stove use per day
Biomass stove use by control participants % control participants who reported exclusive biomass use, mixed use of biomass and LPG, or exclusive LPG use across the study visits Surveys
% days with biomass stove use SUMs
Minutes of biomass stove use per day
Impact of temporary or permanent moves on adherence % intervention participants who used biomass stoves in a new permanent home or temporary home Surveys
% control participants who used exclusively clean fuel in new permanent or temporary home
# days in the new permanent or temporary home

* Note that we refer to intervention adherence at the household level given that the SUMs data do not distinguish which household member(s) are using the stove during flagged use events.
