Getu Debalkie Demissie et al.

Summary: This study revealed a high prevalence of childhood diarrhea morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa, with maternal age, wealth index, maternal education, maternal occupation, age of child, time of initiation of breast feeding, and time to get water source significantly associated with diarrhea. Intervention through health education and promotion for mothers/caretakers who are poor, less educated, and young should be implemented to prevent diarrhea in the region.
