Abstract
This controlled trial study aims to increase handwashing in households, and will be conducted in Cox's Bazaar, Bangladesh. Camp residents and staff will be surveyed to assess functionality, monitoring and maintenance systems of handwashing devices as well as psychological ownership of the devices, to assess whether ownership increases handwashing. The expected outcomes are improved monitoring and maintenance of both individual and public handwashing devices in the camp settings, and strengthened interventions for handwashing which increase psychological ownership, tailored to the local conditions and the current COVID-19 crisis.
