Household WASH Intervention Data from Nigeria Conflict Camps, 330 KB

Conflict-affected Nigeria provided the setting for a one-year study of a Supertowel handwashing intervention. The dataset includes household surveys, structured observations, focus group discussions, and laboratory testing results from intervention and control camps. Laura Limarzi-Klyn authored the dataset, which was last updated on 2026-04-15.

Use Cases

• Compare handwashing material availability between intervention and control groups based on reported soap presence.
• Analyze Supertowel usage patterns and user demographics based on structured observation data.
• Assess the decline in microbial disinfection efficacy over time based on laboratory log reduction values.
• Evaluate user feedback and design recommendations from focus group discussions.

Strengths

• Includes multiple data collection methods: household surveys, observations, focus groups, and lab tests.
• Provides specific statistical results, such as p<0.001 for soap availability and 55–60% observed Supertowel use.
• Laboratory testing quantifies efficacy with log reduction values for specific pathogens like E. coli and S. aureus.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data scale is limited at 330.4 KB, indicating a small dataset.
