The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between responses to CHoBI7 WASH IVR quiz messages and subsequent diarrhea and WASH behaviors. Fourteen CHoBI7 IVR quiz messages on handwashing with soap and treatment of stored water were sent to 517 households with 1,777 participants during the 12-month program period. IVR message responses were classified as correct answer, incorrect answer, no response (did not press 1 or 2), and failed (did not answer the phone). Diarrhea prevalence was assessed through self-reported monthly clinical surveillance visits. Handwashing with soap was assessed by a 5-hour structured observation, and stored water quality was defined by <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic> concentration. Households that responded correctly to a CHoBI7 IVR quiz message had significantly lower odds of diarrhea for all age groups (adults and children) at the subsequent visit 1 month later (odds ratio [OR], 0.73; 95% CI, 0.54\u20130.98), and significantly greater odds of handwashing with soap after stool-related events (OR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.12\u20135.49) and <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> levels &lt; 100 colony forming units (CFU)\/100 mL (World Health Organization high-risk cutoff) in the stored household water (OR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.25\u20133.33) compared with households that did not answer CHoBI7 IVR quiz calls. Correct responses to CHoBI7 IVR quizzes were associated with decreased diarrhea prevalence and improved stored drinking water quality and handwashing with soap behaviors at the subsequent visits. These findings suggest engagement in the CHoBI7 mobile health (mHealth) program and awareness of diarrheal disease prevention can reduce diarrhea and facilitate changes in WASH behaviors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.22-0273","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,6]],"date-time":"2023-02-06T15:35:37Z","timestamp":1675697737000},"page":"530-535","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Reduced Diarrhea Prevalence and Improvements in Handwashing with Soap and Stored Drinking Water Quality Associated with Diarrheal Disease Awareness Measured by Interactive Voice Response Messages in the CHoBI7 Mobile Health Program"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"Md Sazzadul Islam","family":"Bhuyian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jamie","family":"Perin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kelly","family":"Endres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatema","family":"Zohura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jahed","family":"Masud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tahmina","family":"Parvin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ismat Minhaj","family":"Uddin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tasdik","family":"Hasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shirajum","family":"Monira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh, Dhaka, Bangladesh;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David A.","family":"Sack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abu S.
