FOAM- From Development to Practice Public Private Partnership Handwashing Initiative

2 Overview of Presentation  The Need for a Model  How FOAM was developed  How FOAM has been used  How PPPHWI fits within WSP

3 A Model for HW BC  Many tools available  All stress audience-centered programming  Lack of holistic model to explain all factors influencing HW  Global Scaling Up HW Project presents an opportunity  Learning objective  Common framework

4 Development of a BCM for HW  Hanoi Vietnam April 24-27, 2007  Participants included HW Coordinators, MoH and Global WSP team  Facilitated by a communication consultant  Key output: a behavior change model for the “Scaling up HW Behavior Change” project

5 What is a behavior change framework? A behavior change framework is a diagram that represents all the various determinants of a behavior that is desirable for a public health outcome to occur:  use of a condom with a commercial sex partner;  sleeping under an insecticide-treated mosquito net to prevent malaria;  hand washing with soap after defecation to prevent diarrheal diseases.

6 What are determinants of behavior? Determinants of behavior are factors that influence whether a person is likely to engage in a certain behavior:  Socio-demographic (such as age, sex and education) or mutable (such as awareness or understanding of a health issue)  Internal (eg. beliefs)  External (eg. social norms)

7 What is a BC Model Diagram that represents the various “determinants” of behavior change  “Determinants” are internal or external factors that influence an individual to perform a behavior

8 Advantages of a BC Model  Provides a common language  Can help identify critical linkages  Informs M&E  Enables comprehensive, evidence- based programming  Can be adapted across populations

11 F in FOAM  Focus:  desired behavior  target populations

12 O A M  Opportunity: institutional or structural factors that influence an individual’s chance to perform a behavior (external)  Ability: individual’s skills and proficiency to perform a behavior (internal)  Motivation: drives, wishes, urges, or desires that influence an individual to perform a behavior (internal)

13 FOAM

14 From Model to Practice  Enables full marketing mix vision  FOAM can be integrated into existing tools and frameworks (ie Trigger workshops)  FOAM can be applied to:  Analysis of research  Formulation of communication objectives for mass media and IPC  Monitoring & Evaluation  FOAM Operational Matrix (FOM) for program planning

15 FOAM’s can compliment other models Steps of Change See Handout

16 FOAM’s Applications Foam Workshop Used FOAM to analyze main findings from VN HW formative research results Developed three key Communication Objectives for HW program

17 FOAM’s Applications con’t Agency Brief See handout
