Community mobilisation for adoption of clean cookstoves and clean fuel to reduce household air pollution and blood pressure in Lagos, Nigeria: protocol for a cluster-randomised trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In Africa, 75% of households are exposed to household air pollution (HAP), a key contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In Nigeria, 90 million households rely on solid fuels for cooking, and 40% of adults have hypertension. Though clean fuel and clean stove (CF-CS) technologies can reduce HAP and CVD risk, their adoption in Africa remains limited.

Methods and analysis

Using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation and Sustainment framework, this cluster-randomised controlled trial evaluates the implementation and effectiveness of a community mobilisation (CM) strategy versus a self-directed condition (i.e., receipt of information on CF-CS use without CM) on adoption of CF-CS technologies and systolic blood pressure (SBP) reduction among 1248 adults fro
