摘要
Rural Vietnam has seen numerous sanitation and hygiene-related interventions. However, these have produced limited improvement in handwashing with soap. This study examines handwashing with soap practices and predictors in Giong Trom, Vietnam, based on a 792-person household survey and 78 stakeholder interviews. Descriptive statistics indicate handwashing with soap remains unsatisfactory. Regression analysis reveals its association with two contextual and five socio-psychological predictors. Interviews provide further elaboration with reference to local conditions. The findings underscore the importance of targeted multidimensional interventions, the limitations of exclusively infrastructural focuses, and the highly contextual nature of even the most popular handwashing with soap predictors.
