Abstract

Modifiable factors, including failure of caregivers to wash their hands with soap after visiting toilets and use of borehole water were associated with AWD, suggesting that community sensitization on handwashing at critical times, using clean water and soap, and expanded use of piped water could reduce AWD incidence in this area.
