Prevalence of diarrhoea and treatment-seeking practices among children <2 years of age in the Birhan cohort, Ethiopia, 2018–19

2024Open accessAddis Ababa University

Abstract

While the proportion of children with diarrhoea in our study was lower than that observed in prior research conducted in Ethiopia, treatment-seeking practices were higher. Female children and children from the poorest families had lower odds of treatment. We recommend more studies to explore gender-based and socioeconomic differences affecting treatment-seeking practices.
