The average increase across the trial was just 1.3 pp. (p = 0.055) and 1.6 pp. (p = 0.065) in the O&M and the Curriculum + O&M arms, respectively (Table 2).
Contexto
What changed: Schools received a 12-session WASH curriculum alongside a dedicated part-time cleaner responsible for daily toilet cleaning, maintenance, and restocking soap and water. Comparison: Control schools that received baseline WASH infrastructure repairs but no curriculum or cleaner. Limits: Single district in Uttar Pradesh; 2-hour observation windows could not differentiate urination from defecation, and unannounced observation may still have unobserved reactivity.
