This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Summary

This study tested whether replacing traditional biomass stoves and kerosene lamps with LPG stoves and solar power improves health in rural Rwanda. Over 1,600 adults and children from 650 households participated. Researchers measured blood pressure and lung function over three years to see if cleaner energy reduces harm from indoor air pollution.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
LPG stoves/fuel and solar electricity
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that clean household energy improves heart and lung health in rural communities.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to other regions or populations.

Inclusion Criteria: This research will recruit and enroll 650 households (250 households in the full subsidy arm; 250 households in the control arm; 150 households in the discount subsidy arm). The household level inclusion criteria is as follows: * Home resides in the study area of Isangano and Karambi * Uses biomass as primary cooking fuel * Either both an adult male (at least 18 years old) and female (at least 18 years old), or just one adult (at least 18 years old), head(s) of household willing to consent and at least one child between 8 and 15 years of age willing to assent; We will recruit the younger child in families with more than one child between 8-15 years of age. We will also confirm the child is living at home throughout the year and not attending boarding school elsewhere. * No commercial cooking * No smoking in the household Additional participant level inclusion is as follows: * Not planning to move in 3-year timeframe * Not currently pregnant (females); Note: If the female becomes pregnant during the study she will not be able to participate in any visits that occur during her pregnancy but she will be able to participate after she has given birth. However, if there is another adult in the household then this will not preclude the other two people (i.e., the other adult and the child) from continuing to participate throughout that time. Exclusion Criteria: The household level exclusion criteria is as follows: * Home resides outside the study area * Uses clean fuel as primary cooking fuel * Participants outside the age ranges: Adult male (at least 18 years old) and female (at least 18 years old) heads of household willing to consent and at least one child between 8 and 15 years of age willing to assent * Conducts commercial cooking * Smoking members of the household Additional participant level exclusion is as follows: * Planning to move in 3-year timeframe * Currently pregnant (females)
