Table 3.

Simplified RE-AIM data gathering template for clean cooking programs.

RE-AIM dimension Definition Case study-specific metrics
Reach No. of people and percentage of the target population affected. The extent to which the individuals reached are representative and include those most at risk.
  1. Absolute numbers and characteristics of the target population

  2. Number of people/households and percentage of the target population that have been reached.

  3. How do the characteristics of the people reached differ from target population?

  4. How do the characteristics of the people reached differ from target population?

  5. Duration/dates of the program

  6. Sociodemographic trends that affect program (e.g., migration etc.)

Effectiveness A measure of effects, including positive, negative, and unanticipated consequences.
  1. Toward program goals
    1. Stated goals of the program
    2. Success achieved toward each of the stated goals
    3. Unanticipated consequences
  2. Toward health improvements
    1. POTENTIAL of the program for achieving improvements in health (e.g., ISO tier of the technology; exposure reductions; baseline levels of HAP related diseases; etc.)
    2. Degree to which technology displaced polluting fuels in target populations  c. If health data available, were there changes associated with program
Adoption (inclusion and approval) No. and percentage of settings participating, and the extent to which the settings selected are representative of settings that the target population will access.
  1. How were program sites selected? Who was involved in selecting implementation sites and was this an inclusive process?

  2. Were the implementation agents viewed positively or negatively by the communities?

  3. How much fuel stacking in those homes that did take up new technology

  4. Perceptions of affordability, perception of intervention benefits, and/or disadvantages

Implementation Level of adherence to implementation principles or guidelines, the extent to which all vs. selected elements are implemented, and the cost.
  1. Policy context

  2. Who financed, and who implemented?

  3. Monitoring process and measures

  4. Cost of the program, over what time period? (To the program leadership. Could be total cost, cost per capita, or cost projection)

  5. Major changes to program targets/goals/drivers/timelines that occurred during implementation, and why did they occur?

Maintenance Individuals continue to exhibit the desired behavior changes; change is maintained; development of new barriers to use is prevented or mitigated.
  1. To what extent has the reach of the program been maintained over time? (e.g., households still using the technology at least 1 year post-adoption vs. abandoning it).

  2. Ongoing access to fuels? Supply side and cost to consumer.

  3. Indicators of program's sustainability? Risks to sustainability?
