ABSTRACT/ORDER
- Sustained adoption of water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions: Systematic review. TMIH, Nov 22. Definitions of sustained adoption varied widely and were often inadequate, making comparison of sustained adoption across studies difficult. The timeframe for measurements of sustained adoption is frequently inadequate for examination of longer-term behavior change.
