RCT refers to households that previously participated in a randomized controlled trial of the BSF. Non-RCT refers to households that received BSFs from Rotary Clubs.

Total of 157 includes 154 households that completed the RCT in August of 2006 and 3 households that began but did not complete the RCT as intervention households found to still have a BSF.

Multiple attempts were made, but five households were unable to be reached for interview. Two BSF filters had been moved to new and accessible households.

§

No repeat visits were attempted.

The percentage in use was calculated based on the total selected for RCT households and the total interviewed for non-RCT households, because no repeat attempts were made for that group.
