Summary of Study Session 8

In Study Session 8, you have learned that:

1. A framework approach helps to identify behavioural determinants that can facilitate or prevent progress in improving health including hygiene and sanitation.
2. One such framework is FOAM, which identifies the target groups and people who can influence them as well as the opportunity, ability and motivation determinants of a behaviour.
3. Tools that can be used to help build the content of a FOAM framework include participation, situation and barrier analysis.
4. Gender has a strong influence on hygiene and sanitation-related behaviour.
