Article Synopsis
- A study in Ethiopia examined different methods to measure face washing behavior in the context of trachoma elimination, highlighting the need for reliable indicators.
- The research compared survey reports, pictorial recall, and facial cleanliness assessments to structured observations to evaluate accuracy.
- Results showed that self-reported face washing was generally overestimated, and while pictorial recall had high specificity, its low sensitivity indicated challenges in accurately capturing washing behaviors.
