PROJECT SUMMARY More than half of the world’s population is urban. While economic opportunities often drive migration to urban settings, the benefits of increased economic opportunity, environmental and health infrastructure in cities is not adequate or equitable. While urban areas may have greater sanitation coverage, those in densely populated, slum communities experience disparities in distribution, quality, and continuity of these water and sanitation services. In conjunction with government investment, the issues of collective action, stakeholder engagement, inclusive and sustainable practices remain critical to impactful urban sanitation solutions. Addressing the major barriers to effective urban sanitation interventions such as building mechanisms for communication between the residents of the vulnerable communities and the service providers at scale has the potential to make a tremendous impact on health and well-being. Mobile health technology has tremendous potential to gather data directly from the underserved populations in need of sustainable water and sanitation solutions and enhance the inclusion of vulnerable populations in the participatory construction of these solutions. The primary purpose of this proposal is to develop and evaluate a mobile health technology program to enhance urban sanitation interventions in densely populated and marginalized urban communities to increase connections and engagement with sanitation interventions, and result in reduced environmental contamination. Through formative research, a pilot feasibility investigation, and a validation study, we will determine the ability of the mHealth program to enhance urban sanitation interventions.

项目摘要 世界上一半以上的人口是城市的。虽然经济机会经常驱使迁移到城市 环境，增加城市的经济机会，环境和健康基础设施的好处不是 尽管城市地区可能具有更大的卫生覆盖范围，但人口不足的人， 贫民窟社区经历这些水和卫生的分配，质量和连续性的分布 服务。结合政府投资，集体行动，利益相关者参与的问题， 包容性和可持续性实践对有影响力的城市卫生解决方案至关重要。解决专业 有效的城市卫生干预措施的障碍，例如建筑机制以进行交流 脆弱社区和服务提供商的居民大规模有可能使 对健康和福祉的巨大影响。移动卫生技术具有收集数据的巨大潜力 直接来自服务不足的人口，需要可持续水和卫生解决方案，并增强 在这些解决方案的参与构建中包括脆弱的人群。 该建议的主要目的是制定和评估移动健康技术计划以增强 城市卫生干预措施在人口稠密和边缘化的城市社区中，以增加联系 并参与卫生干预措施，并减少环境污染。通过 形成性研究，试点可行性调查和验证研究，我们将确定 MHealth计划增强城市卫生干预措施。
