本文详细介绍了参与的六个国家（即加纳、印度、肯尼亚、尼泊尔、斯里兰卡和乌干达）的研究设计，以调查水、环境卫生和个人卫生干预措施结束后卫生行为的可持续性。研究了三组卫生行为：洗手、厕所使用和维护以及家庭卫生。主要项目干预结束后两到九年收集的 2002 年部分数据列于表格中。这些数据表明，卫生行为在干预结束后仍能持续。此外，还对一些外部变量（例如水的获取、妇女的教育和社区的社会经济地位）进行了调查，以确定是否将采取并继续新的卫生习惯。最后，还通过确定每个家庭接触此类活动与其卫生指标之间的关联来调查卫生宣传活动对卫生结果的影响。
This paper details the study design in each of the six countries (viz., Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Uganda) participated to investigate the sustainability of hygiene behaviours after the end of water, sanitation and hygiene interventions. Three groups of hygiene behaviour were studied: handwashing, latrine use and maintenance, and household hygiene. Part of the 2002 data collected two to nine years after the main project intervention ended are given in a table. These data demonstrated that hygiene behaviours are sustained beyond the end of an intervention. In addition, some external variables (such as access to water, education of women and socioeconomic status of the community) are investigated to determine whether new hygiene practices will be taken up and continued. Finally, the impact of hygiene promotion activities on hygiene outcomes are also investigated by determining the associations between each household's contact with such activities and its hygiene indicators.
