This study is for the second wave of the TRaC survey. It aims to answer three fundamental questions related to monitoring, segmentation and evaluation of the safe water product, Sur™Eau:

1. Determine the levels and trends evident in key behavior, risk, OAM constructs, and exposure to PSI/Rwanda Sur™Eau program activities.

2. By each risk/behavior combination, determine the opportunity, ability and motivation (OAM) constructs and population characteristics significantly
correlated with the use of a water treatment product and/or Sur™Eau specifically.

3. The extent to which exposure to PSI/Rwanda Sur™Eau program activities lead to changes in OAM, risk, and behavior.

Data from this study are from two rounds of TRaC surveys. Both studies were nationally representative of women age 15-49 for PSI/Rwanda's safe water program. Data collection focused on gathering information about use of the Sur Eau and other water treatment methods, factors related to caregivers of children under five opportunity, ability, and motivation (OAM
) to adopt safer behaviour, and their exposure to Sur Eau program interventions. A multi-stage cluster sampling strategy was used in both studies.
