2010年12月至2011年2月，无国界医生组织阿姆斯特丹行动中心在海地太子港家乐福霍乱治疗中心的患者家庭中试行分发家庭消毒包和预防霍乱的健康宣传课程。我们对208个受助家庭进行了跟进调查，以确定他们对健康推广套囊的接受和使用情况，以及对健康推广信息的理解。在61%的被调查家庭中，护理人员是HDK的接受者，57.7%的家庭在患者出院后接受了HDK。在接受调查的家庭中，97.6%的家庭表示，他们在收到HDK后使用了HDK的内容，其中75%的家庭报告使用了五种或五种以上的物品，其中两种最受欢迎的物品是氯和肥皂。在2011年1月24日教育信息得到加强后收到工具包的家庭中，在HDK中自我报告的使用项目显著增加（p < 0.05）。据我们所知，这是第一次证明，在大规模霍乱爆发期间，分发简单的工具包，随时提供清洁产品和材料，并结合健康宣传，是容易的，可行的，并受到目标人群的重视。
Medecins Sans Frontieres-Operational Centre Amsterdam piloted the distribution of household disinfection kits (HDKs) and health promotion sessions for cholera prevention in households of patients admitted to their cholera treatment centres in Carrefour, Port au Prince, Haiti, between December 2010 and February 2011. We conducted a follow-up survey with 208 recipient households to determine the uptake and use of the kits and understanding of the health promotion messages. In 61% of surveyed households, a caregiver had been the recipient of the HDK and 57.7% of households had received the HDKs after the discharge of the patient. Among surveyed households, 97.6% stated they had used the contents of the HDK after receiving it, with 75% of these reporting using five or more items, with the two most popular items being chlorine and soap. A significant (p < 0.05) increase in self-reported use items in the HDK was observed in households that received kits after 24 January 2011 when the education messages were strengthened. To our knowledge, this is the first time it has been demonstrated that during a large-scale cholera outbreak, the distribution of simple kits, with readily available cleaning products and materials, combined with health promotion is easy, feasible, and valued by the target population.
