Authors of this impact evaluation report evaluate the impact of a behaviourally-informed intervention in increasing intent, and habit, of toilet use among toilet-owning households in rural Bihar. While increases were consistent in both intervention and control groups, the intervention group had significant improvements in their knowledge regarding latrine use as well.
