This study aims to investigate the effects of hygiene education, the distribution of hygiene supplies, and the installation of handwashing facilities on health-related behaviors, health indicators, and school absenteeism among children in rural Pyuthan District, Nepal. Two intervention groups will be established: (1) a comprehensive intervention group receiving hygiene education, hygiene supplies, and handwashing facilities, and (2) a handwashing-facility-only group. Changes before and after the interventions, as well as differences between the two groups, will be evaluated. Furthermore, the behavioral change mechanisms underlying the interventions will be explored using the COM-B model to identify effective public health intervention strategies for rural communities.
