HW = handwashing; LCD = liters per capita per day; SD = standard deviation; USD = U.S. dollar. Handwashing frequency and all psychosocial variables ranged from 0 to 1. Water collection > 30 minutes = 1 and < 30 minutes = 0; LCD ≥ 7.5 = 1 and < 7.5 = 0; and designated HW place = 1 and no designated place = 0.
*
For Water collection > 30 minutes, LCD ≥ 7.5 and designated HW place percentages are presented instead of means, and correlations are point biserial correlations.
Boldface: significant with P < 0.001, except for those marked with † P < 0.01; ‡ P < 0.05.
