The use of indoor, three-stone fire pits in resource-poor countries is a substantial burden on human health and the environment. We conducted a pilot intervention promoting the purchase and use of an improved cookstove in rural Kenya. The goals of this qualitative inquiry were to understand the motivation to purchase and use; perceived benefits and challenges of cookstove use; and the most influential promotion activities for scaling up future cookstove promotion. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 10 cookstove promoters and 30 cookstove purchasers in the Luo community. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were transcribed and a thematic analysis conducted. Women reported the need for less firewood, fuel cost savings, reduced smoke, improved cooking efficiency, reduced eye irritation, lung congestion and coughing as major benefits of the cookstove. Cost appeared to be a barrier to wider adoption. The most persuasive promotion strategies were interpersonal communication through social networks and cooking demonstrations. Despite this cost barrier, many women still considered the improved cookstove to be a great asset within their household. This inquiry provided important guidance for future cookstove implementation projects.
在资源匮乏的国家，使用室内三石火坑对人类健康和环境造成了巨大的负担。我们在肯尼亚农村开展了一项推广购买和使用改进型炉灶的试点干预措施。本次定性研究的目的是了解购买和使用的动机；使用炉灶的感知收益和挑战；以及对推广未来改进型炉灶最具影响力的推广活动。采用目的性抽样方法在洛社区招募了 10 名炉灶推广人员和 30 名炉灶购买者。对定性半结构化访谈进行了转录，并进行了主题分析。女性报告说，改进型炉灶的主要好处包括需要的柴火更少、燃料成本节省、烟雾减少、烹饪效率提高、眼睛刺激减少、肺部充血和咳嗽减少。成本似乎是更广泛采用的障碍。最有说服力的推广策略是通过社交网络进行人际沟通和烹饪演示。尽管存在成本障碍，但许多女性仍然认为改进型炉灶是家庭中的重要资产。本次调查为未来的炉灶实施项目提供了重要的指导。
