Denominators vary as not all respondents answered all questions. Use is based on reported use.
Closure over entry and roof assessed in a model which excluded walls because no latrines without walls had a roof or door.
A functional latrine is defined as a latrine which has walls over 1.5 meters, some type of closure over the entry, an unbroken and unblocked pan and a connected and functional pan-pipe-pit connection.
aORs for functional latrines assessed in a model which included village, household construction, pit covering and length of time since latrine has been built.
