FSM = fecal sludge management.
*
P value for t test of proportions between neighborhoods.
†
All toilets were pour-flush toilets.
‡
Of the 33 households reporting having a toilet, 32 responded to the subsequent questions about FSM.
§
Percent in parentheses represents the percentage of all households with toilets.
¶
No significant clusters of households with toilet excreta contained onsite (good FSM) were observed.
∥
P value for comparison of the prevalence of the attribute within the cluster compared with the overall prevalence of the attribute in the neighborhood. Only clusters significant at the 0.05 level are presented, otherwise “–” is presented.
