Context:
In the pursuit of promoting sustained handwashing with soap (HWWS) behaviours, visual stimuli, such as stickers, reminders, and motivators, play a vital role as subtle yet powerful nudges. Even after the program ends, these reminders in the environment act as silent prompts that facilitate decision-making and contribute to the long-term adoption of HWWS. By incorporating these effective nudges, individuals are encouraged to maintain and reinforce HWWS in their daily lives, thus fostering a culture of improved hygiene and healthier communities.

Purpose:
The HWWS reminder stickers were thoughtfully provided to the target audience for various key occasions of handwashing with soap. These stickers were meant to be placed strategically at appropriate locations in coherence with each occasion. For instance, a reminder to practice HWWS after defecation was instructed to be placed outside the toilet area, while a sticker encouraging handwashing before cooking was advised to be placed in a visible spot within the kitchen. By tailoring the placement of these reminder stickers to align with specific HWWS moments, we aimed to create an effective visual cue system that seamlessly integrated into their daily routines.
