One in four people around the world do not have access to safe drinking water, which means that two billion people globally lack access. In high-income countries, 0.02% of yearly deaths are attributed to unsafe water sources; however, an alarming 10.6% of deaths occur in Madagascar, for the same reason.To achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6: Ensure access to water and sanitation for all, a collaboration between public health and engineering is critical. Within the public health sector, social marketing is commonly utilized to address a problem by using commercial marketing principles to change behavior for the good of society. Prioritizing the needs of the user is where social marketing can help propel international development engineering forward.Influencing behavior change for improved drinking water quality, thereby, achieving social good can be done using a household water treatment method, commonly referred to as point-of- use treatment. Time, cost, access, and societal influence are contributing factors to household POU water treatment in Madagascar and all act as barriers to the long-term adoption of water disinfection technologies.A complex level of understanding of the target population in any study area is needed to understand the best way to identify and overcome barriers to household water treatment methods. To address identified gaps in the literature, this thesis research included an observational study using a cross-sectional qualitative survey to gain a deeper understanding of community members perceptions around water in Madagascar, translation of these findings to inform a potential social marketing intervention. A sample of 20 Malagasy women were interviewed on their current treatment practices, perceptions of water quality, facilitators and barriers associated with treating water, information channels, and whether they have a desire to change their current practices.The desire for good health for themselves and their families as a primary motivator/facilitator, along with peer-to-peer influence and community perceptions (p<.05) was found. The connection between health and water should be highlighted in an intervention through recognizing overall health as a benefit to POU treatment. An education and training centered intervention may also result in the sustained use and adoption of an appropriate technology for POU treatment at the household level.

520 $a Une personne sur quatre dans le monde n'a pas acces a l'eau potable, ce qui signifie que deux milliards de personnes dans le monde n'y ont pas acces. Dans les pays a revenu eleve, 0,02 % des deces annuels sont attribues a des sources d'eau insalubre ; toutefois, un pourcentage alarmant de 10,6 % des deces survient a Madagascar, pour la meme raison.Pour atteindre l'objectif de developpement durable n° 6 : assurer l'acces a l'eau et a l'assainissement pour tous, une collaboration entre la sante publique et l'ingenierie est essentielle. Dans le secteur de la sante publique, le marketing social est couramment utilise pour resoudre un probleme en utilisant les principes du marketing commercial pour changer les comportements pour le bien de la societe. En donnant la priorite aux besoins de l'utilisateur, le marketing social peut contribuer a faire avancer l'ingenierie du developpement international.Influencer le changement de comportement pour ameliorer la qualite de l'eau de boisson, et ainsi atteindre le bien social, peut se faire en utilisant une methode de traitement de l'eau a domicile, communement appelee traitement au point d'utilisation. Le temps, le cout, l'acces et l'influence societale sont des facteurs qui contribuent au traitement de l'eau au point d'utilisation par les menages a Madagascar et qui constituent tous des obstacles a l'adoption a long terme des technologies de desinfection de l'eau.Un niveau complexe de comprehension de la population cible dans toute zone d'etude est necessaire pour comprendre la meilleure facon d'identifier et de surmonter les obstacles aux methodes de traitement de l'eau des menages. Pour repondre aux lacunes identifiees dans la litterature, cette these de recherche comprend une etude d'observation utilisant une enquete qualitative transversale afin de mieux comprendre les perceptions des membres de la communaute autour de l'eau a Madagascar, la traduction de ces resultats pour informer une intervention potentielle de marketing social. Un echantillon de 20 femmes malgaches a ete interroge sur leurs pratiques actuelles de traitement, leurs perceptions de la qualite de l'eau, les facilitateurs et les obstacles associes au traitement de l'eau, les canaux d'information, et leur desir eventuel de changer leurs pratiques actuelles.On a constate que le desir d'etre en bonne sante pour elles-memes et leur famille etait le principal facteur de motivation/facilitateur, de meme que l'influence des pairs et les perceptions de la communaute (p<.05). Le lien entre la sante et l'eau devrait etre souligne dans une intervention en reconnaissant la sante globale comme un avantage du traitement des POU. Une intervention centree sur l'education et la formation peut egalement aboutir a l'utilisation durable et a l'adoption d'une technologie appropriee pour le traitement de l'eau potable au niveau des menages.
