Description

Md Khobair Hossain led a team of eight authors on this 2026 interview study inside a clean cookstove trial in Bangladesh. Families in the trial received liquefied gas stoves, and researchers interviewed mothers, husbands, and mothers-in-law about how childcare and housework shifted. The original trial targeted smoke exposure, not family routines.

Gas cooking cut cooking time and workload, freeing mothers to feed, play with, and watch their infants more closely and to juggle tasks with less strain. Hossain calls these spillover gains real but in need of measurement in future quantitative studies.
