Effect on blood pressure and eye health symptoms in a climate-financed randomized cookstove intervention study in rural India.

CONCLUSIONS: Health benefits were limited due to stacking and lower-than-predicted efficiency of the intervention stove in the field. Stove adoption and use behavior, in addition to stove technology, affects achievement of health co-benefits. Carbon-financing schemes need to align with international guidelines that have been set based on health outcomes to maximize health co-benefits from cookstove interventions.
