Countries | Crude PR (95% CI) | Adjusted† PR (95% CI) |
---|---|---|
Nigeria, Cameroon, Mali, Senegal, Liberia | 0.82 (0.76–0.88) | 0.86 (0.80–0.93) |
Sao Tome and Principe, Namibia, Congo, Burkina Faso, Burundi | 1.05 (0.96–1.15) | 1.00 (0.92–1.10) |
Benin, Malawi, Niger, Zambia, Sierra Leone | 1.15 (1.07–1.23) | 1.10 (1.03–1.18) |
Swaziland, Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea | 1.23 (1.12–1.34) | 1.19 (1.09–1.30) |
Ethiopia, Lesotho, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Ghana, Madagascar | 1.35 (1.25–1.45) | 1.32 (1.22–1.42) |
Countries are grouped based on quintiles of the crude prevalence ratio (PR). Shown are PRs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for diarrhea for comparisons of households with shared toilet facilities with households with facilities that are not shared.
Adjusted for type of facility (flush toilet, improved latrine, unimproved latrine) mother's age, mother's educational attainment, highest level of education in the household, and asset ownership.
