We report a cholera outbreak in a remote village in western India where open defecation was implicated in causation. A water pipeline was damaged in the vicinity of a stream flowing from a site of open defecation. Despite the availability of a toilet facility in the majority of households (75%), open defecation was widely practiced (62.8%). Many reported not washing hands with soap and water before eating (78.5%) and after defecation (61.1%). The study emphasizes the need for focused health behavior studies and evidence-based interventions to reduce the occurrence of cholera outbreaks. This could be the last lap in the path toward achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6, which aims to \u201censure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.\u201d<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.21-0625","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,25]],"date-time":"2021-10-25T08:15:18Z","timestamp":1635149718000},"page":"229-232","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Evidence-Based Health Behavior Interventions for Cholera: Lessons from an Outbreak Investigation in India"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"106","author":[{"given":"Avinash","family":"Deoshatwar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Epidemiology Group, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)\u2013National Institute of Virology, Pune, Maharashtra, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dawal","family":"Salve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Public Health Department, Government of Maharashtra, Nashik, Maharashtra, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Varanasi","family":"Gopalkrishna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Enteric Viruses Group, ICMR-National Institute of Virology, Pune, Maharashtra, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anuj","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4ICMR\u2013National Institute of Cancer Prevention and Research, NOIDA, Uttar Pradesh, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Uday","family":"Barve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"5Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme, Nashik, Maharashtra, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madhuri","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Enteric Viruses Group, ICMR-National Institute of Virology, Pune, Maharashtra, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Savita","family":"Katendra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"6Bacteriology Group, ICMR\u2013National Institute of Virology, Pune, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Varsha","family":"Dhembre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"6Bacteriology Group, ICMR\u2013National Institute of Virology, Pune, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shradha","family":"Maheshwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"6Bacteriology Group, ICMR\u2013National Institute of Virology, Pune, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajlakshmi","family":"Viswanathan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"6Bacteriology Group, ICMR\u2013National Institute of Virology, Pune, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","container-title":["The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/106\/1\/article-p229.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/tpmd\/106\/1\/article-p229.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,5]],"date-time":"2022-01-05T07:09:48Z","timestamp":1641366588000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ajtmh.org\/view\/journals\/tpmd\/106\/1\/article-p229.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,5]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4269\/ajtmh.21-0625","relation":{},"ISSN":["0002-9637","1476-1645"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0002-9637","type":"print"},{"value":"1476-1645","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,5]]}}}
