Description

And yet, despite this knowledge, many residents were washing their

hands in a haphazard fashion. Some people would just run their hands

under the water quickly. Others would only wash one hand. Many

would simply forget to wash their hands before preparing food.

Everyone said handwashing was important, but few people made a

habit out of it. The problem wasn’t knowledge. The problem was

consistency.

That was when Luby and his team partnered with Procter & Gamble

to supply the neighborhood with Safeguard soap. Compared to your

standard bar of soap, using Safeguard was a more enjoyable

experience.

“In Pakistan, Safeguard was a premium soap,” Luby told me. “The

study participants commonly mentioned how much they liked it.” The

soap foamed easily, and people were able to lather their hands with

suds. It smelled great. Instantly, handwashing became slightly more

pleasurable.

“I see the goal of handwashing promotion not as behavior change

but as habit adoption,” Luby said. “It is a lot easier for people to adopt

a product that provides a strong positive sensory signal, for example

the mint taste of toothpaste, than it is to adopt a habit that does not

provide pleasurable sensory feedback, like flossing one’s teeth. The

marketing team at Procter & Gamble talked about trying to create a

positive handwashing experience.”

Within months, the researchers saw a rapid shift in the health of

children in the neighborhood. The rate of diarrhea fell by 52 percent;

pneumonia by 48 percent; and impetigo, a bacterial skin infection, by

35 percent.

The long-term effects were even better. “We went back to some of

the households in Karachi six years after,” Luby told me. “Over 95

percent of households who had been given the soap for free and

encouraged to wash their hands had a handwashing station with soap

and water available when our study team visited. . . . We had not given

any soap to the intervention group for over five years, but during the

trial they had become so habituated to wash their hands, that they had

maintained the practice.” It was a powerful example of the fourth and

final Law of Behavior Change: make it satisfying.

We are more likely to repeat a behavior when the experience is

satisfying. This is entirely logical. Feelings of pleasure—even minor

ones like washing your hands with soap that smells nice and lathers

well—are signals that tell the brain: “This feels good. Do this again,

next time.” Pleasure teaches your brain that a behavior is worth

remembering and repeating.
