Implementation Materials
All of the Water Insecurity Experiences Scales are open-access, which means that anyone can use them so long as the work is attributed.
Manuals
HWISE User Manual
To facilitate their use, we have prepared a visually accessible implementation manual.
To maintain implementation fidelity, we request that individuals do not alter the scale beyond the suggested modifications outlined in the manual. Any modifications made to the HWISE Scale should be specified in any written reports and publications.
Webinars
We have given several webinars on the uses of experiential measures of water insecurity, including with engineers, nutritionists, and the broader development community.
Translations
