Our field team is in the process of conducting the baseline survey for our study on ceramic water filters. Utilizing GPS coordinates and phone numbers of the households gathered during our initial listing activities, our enumerators are focusing on 1,008 households, spread across 144 primary sampling units in Kibera.
The survey, designed by our principal investigators (PIs), takes approximately 40-50 minutes to complete. It collects a wide range of data, including comprehensive household sociodemographic information, subjective health and wellbeing status, wealth and income levels, food and water security measures, and child anthropometrics.
As part of our cluster randomized controlled trial, we are distributing a ceramic water filter to each household in the study. In these filters, we have installed domestic meters to monitor water usage over a six-month treatment period. This approach allows us to observe the impact of our intervention and gather valuable data for our study which no other study has ever collected so far.
