低收入和中等收入国家的许多家庭使用效率低下的生物质燃烧炉做饭，造成家庭空气高度污染，威胁长期健康。虽然有清洁炉灶和燃料，但吸收和持续使用率很低。使用观察和深入访谈，我们评估了传统与液化石油气（LPG）炉灶在农村普诺，秘鲁的态度，偏好和信念。共进行了31次深入访谈的主要厨师和他们的家人，卫生工作者，社区领袖，并改善炉灶承包商。还对膳食准备进行了6次家庭观察。确定了持续使用清洁炉灶的六个主要障碍：（1）不同炉灶类型在食物口味和营养方面的感知差异;（2）由不同炉灶填充的烹饪壁龛;（3）与烹饪做法有关的社会规范;（4）安全问题;（5）使用不同炉灶的比较成本;（6）缺乏对长期健康风险的认识和关注。这些发现表明，要成功减少家庭空气污染，清洁烹饪计划和政策必须考虑健康以外的许多影响因素，如成本，口味，恐惧和文化传统。这些因素可以纳入以社区为基础的努力和国家努力，以扩大持续和专门采用清洁烹饪的规模。
Many households in low- and middle-income countries cook with inefficient biomass-burning stoves, which cause high levels of household air pollution and threaten long-term health. Although clean stoves and fuels are available, uptake and consistent use has been low. Using observations and in-depth interviews, we assessed the attitudes, preferences, and beliefs about traditional versus liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stoves in rural Puno, Peru. A total of 31 in-depth interviews were conducted with primary cooks and their families, health workers, community leaders, and improved stove contractors. Six in-home observations of meal preparation were also conducted. Six major barriers to consistent use of clean stoves were identified: (1) perceived differences in food taste and nutrition by stove type; (2) cooking niches filled by different stoves; (3) social norms related to cooking practices; (4) safety concerns; (5) comparative costs of using different stoves; and (6) lack of awareness and concern about long-term health risks. These findings suggest that to successfully reduce household air pollution, clean cooking programs and policies must consider the many factors influencing adoption beyond health, such as cost, taste, fears, and cultural traditions. These factors could be incorporated into community-based and national efforts to scale-up sustained and exclusive adoption of clean cooking.
