Experimental: Cholera-Hospital-Based-Intervention-for-7-Days (CHoBI7) CATI
The CHoBI7 program is first delivered during group sessions by a health promoter to those residing in a ring around a cholera patient. The health promoter delivers a pictorial WASH module on how diarrhea can spread, and instructions on handwashing with soap, water treatment, and safe water storage. A cholera prevention package is provided containing: a one-month supply of chlorine tablets for water treatment, a soapy water bottle for handwashing, a handwashing station, and a water vessel with a lid and tap to ensure safe water storage. After the group session, households receive weekly voice and text messages from the CHoBI7 mHealth program over 12 months on the recommended WASH behaviors.
