Living in a large family and low daily water consumption substantially expose for human scabies in rural Ethiopia: a matched analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Being unmarried, illiteracy, large family, long travel time for water collection, low daily water consumption, open dumping of solid wastes, and inaccessibility of scabies-specific interventions are predictors of scabies. This information is instrumental for redesigning improved scabies-specific interventions that consider educational status, marital status, family size, water collection time, daily water consumption, solid waste disposal, and equity and optimization in delivering existing interventions in rural Ethiopia.PMID:38017554 | PMC:PMC10685524 | DOI:10.1186/s41043-023-00471-6
