The Use of Visual Prompts to Increase the Cleanliness of Restrooms on a College Campus
Clayton, Michael C.; Blaskewicz, Julie
Journal of Organizational Behavior Management, v32 n4 p329-337 2012
Prompting procedures have been used in community settings to change many public health related behaviors. The current study took place on a college campus and used a multiple baseline across settings design to evaluate the effectiveness of visual prompts to decrease urinal splatter on men's restroom floors. Results indicate that prompts were immediately effective, and effectiveness was maintained during follow-up four months later. Findings suggest research in community settings should investigate long-term maintenance of prompts to increase the generalization of behavior analytic interventions.
