[Stoves] Behavior change studies related to stoves and health risks

[Cecil Cook]

Dear Christina,

It is not my topic but I googled around and found the following study in
China

http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/1/1/014010/pdf/1748-9326_1_1_014010.pdf

which found no appreciable effect from health education interventions.

Here is another source from Australia:

You probably know the work of Berkeley Air and Kirk R Smith:

Here is a third article that you probably already know about:

I used the following

'education to reduce household air pollution from biomass stoves'

for my google search and it generated many useful hits.

In service,
