สาระสังเขป: Presents a case study on the introduction of water-sealed toilets into a Philippine barrio. Discusses the need to investigate how the innovation can be modified to fit into village customs and capabilities, and how a felt need for it can be awakened, before beginning an adoption campaign. Describes reasons for rejection of the proposed toilet designs. Deals with designing a new product and promoting health education. Summarizes the factors involved in the process of change, noting need for improvement over the old system, for simplicity and economy, for acceptance by leaders, for a personal approach, and for improved channels of communication.
