Dreibelbis, R., Kroeger, A., Hossain, K., Venkatesh, M., Ram, P.K. (2016) Behavior Change without Behavior Change Communication: Nudging Handwashing among Primary School Students in Bangladesh

Behavior change communication for improving handwashing with soap can be labor and resource intensive, yet quality results are difficult to achieve. Nudges are environmental cues engaging unconscious decision-making processes to prompt behavior change.
