A number of diseases can be prevented by personal hygiene. This fact sheet first defines personal hygiene. It then explores which diseases can be prevented through improved personal hygiene as well as the hygiene behaviour itself. It intends to be supportive to hygiene promoters by looking into some issues of behavioural change and promotional aspects. Last but not least it takes a look at what USAID calls the Hygiene Improvement Framework and its implications for practising hygiene behaviour.
