Study Summary

This trial will use the EPIS model in a type-2 hybrid design to explore barriers and facilitators of Clean Fuel-Clean-Stove (CF-CS) use, develop a culturally-tailored CM strategy for CF-CS use, and compare the effect of CM vs. a self-directed condition (i.e. receipt of information on CF-CS use without CM) on adoption of CF-CS use and systolic BP reduction in a cluster RCT of 640 households across 32 peri-urban communities in Nigeria.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for families in peri-urban Nigerian communities who primarily use kerosene, charcoal, or firewood for cooking. The primary cook must be a female without a paid housemaid, and the household should have 2 to 7 members. The key decision-maker at home must agree to participate and not plan to move within the next year.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if community mobilization (CM) can increase clean cookstove usage and reduce hypertension compared to just giving information without CM support. It's conducted in three phases: exploring barriers, implementing CM in a randomized trial of 640 households across 32 communities, then checking long-term sustainability.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves social strategies rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects like you'd expect with drugs. However, changes in cooking practices could indirectly affect lifestyle or health.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: CM Intervention GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Cluster. RCT of 16 urban and rural communities. Community mobilizers and health education officers will facilitate use of CF-CS (bioethanol and LPG fuels/stoves) and educate households on HAP exposure throughout the intervention period
Group II: Self-Directed GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Receive information on CFCS use and education on HAP in 16 urban and rural communities; will not receive the CM intervention
