Contexto
What changed: Village latrine coverage increased via randomized household rebates and community awards alongside CLTS. Comparison: Endline latrine coverage instrumented by randomized incentive treatments, controlling for baseline latrine coverage and covariates. Limits: Sample restricted to non-bottled-water drinkers; findings reflect behavioral adaptation where boiling relies heavily on firewood collection.
