Diarrhoea prevalence in children under five years of age in rural Burundi: an assessment of social and behavioural factors at the household level

Abstract

Diarrhoea prevalence can be reduced through hygiene education and point-of use household water treatment such as boiling. In order to maximise the impact on children's health in the given rural setting, future interventions must assure systematic and regular hygiene education at the household and community level.
