Impacts of reducing water collection times in rural Kenya: Meru ESM RCT

DOI

We measured momentary well-being using the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) among 220 water collectors in rural Meru County, Kenya over eight weeks. Subjects reported on affect and time use at four randomly-chosen times through the day (Monday through Saturday) on a custom-designed ODK survey app, deployed on a low-cost smartphone. Subjects completed a second ODK survey each weekday evening, reporting on school attendance, study time and chores performed for each school-aged child in the household. After several weeks of baseline data, half of households were randomly chosen to receive free delivery of water to their door for four weeks, reducing water collection times to (near) zero. In-person baseline, midline and endline surveys were conducted by enumerators.
