Continued use of concrete BSFs in a cross-sectional survey of communities in Bonao, Dominican Republic, from June to July of 2007
| Results from cross-sectional survey | RCT* | Non-RCT | All |
|---|---|---|---|
| No. of households selected | 157† | 247 | 404 |
| No. of households interviewed | 152‡ | 176§ | 328 |
| Using BSF (%)¶ | 143 (91.1%) | 158 (89.8%) | 301 (90.4%) |
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.
