Exposure behaviour to Escherichia coli among households in Imvepi refugee settlement, Terego district Uganda

Abstract

The study indicates a substantial prevalence of high-risk E. coli exposure behaviours in the refugee settlement.. There's a need to implement behaviour change interventions targeted at preventing or minimizing exposure, especially among households whose heads have low education attainment, those with young caretakers and those with limited knowledge and low-risk perceptions regarding exposure to E. coli.
