responsible to maintain records of TSC related activities. Second, to assess recollection of TSC activities and exposure to tools and information related to TSC, we surveyed _Gram Panchayat_ (village) GP secretaries, school teachers, and _Anganwadi_ (health centres) workers in the village, as well as a random sample of households in each village. This village survey selected randomly 40 to 80 households from each village (depending on its size) for a rapid questionnaire to assess their sanitation conditions.<sup>14</sup> The information provided by TSC Block coordinator and GP secretary indicate that implementation of TSC activities was far slower than the original timeline. The program originally envisioned that implementation would be completed 18 months after our baseline survey. However, as depicted in Figure 2, TSC coordinators reported that social mobilization and behavior change activities were being carried out even close to the follow-up survey at 21 months. Figure 2 summarizes the timeline of the _latest_ CLTS triggering relative the follow-up survey based on information for 39 of the 40 intervention villages from the block coordinators (we were unable to complete a coordinator interview in 1 village). We found that 35% (14/40) of villages were triggered >6 months before the follow-up survey, but that 50% (20/40) were triggered 1 month before the follow-up survey or later. It is possible that the villages were triggered multiple times in the past, but the survey could not capture retrospectively a complete record of TSC activities in the village.

Block coordinators were also asked to give an estimate of when they _believe_ the intervention village would become ODF, which is summarized in Figure 3. For 63% (25/40) of intervention villages, the block coordinators estimated the villages would become ODF 6-months or longer after the follow-up survey. Table 4 provides additional results from the block coordinator interviews. We found that the most recent TSC-related activities were carried out after, during, or 1-3 months prior to follow-up survey in February 2011. Post-triggering follow-up visits to the village were reported in 11 of the 40 intervention villages at the time of our follow-up survey. While block coordinator interviews also identified that the behavior change aspects of TSC were being implemented, their official records indicated that the villages were close to having 100% toilet construction coverage as reported in Table 4. Official records of toilet construction would be indicative of the pace at which TSC funds were available and released to the local government authorities.

On the other hand, the information from additional sources (GP secretaries, school teachers, _Anganwadi_ workers in the village, and the rapid assessment from random sample of households) confirmed that TSC activities translated in a higher recollection and knowledge of TSC in the intervention areas compared to the control. Results from these additional sources are summarized in Table 5.

> 14 Note that unlike the main household survey, this sample was not restricted to households with children < 24 months at enrollment; it is thus more representative of the village conditions as a whole.
