Determinants of diarrhoeal morbidity: The case of children under five years of age among agricultural and agro-pastoralist community of southern Ethiopia

Conclusions: The study showed that diarrhoea was a major health problem of the under five among the agro-pastoralist communities. Socioeconomic, environmental, household and childcare related factors have influenced the transmission of diarrhoea in the study setting. Delivery of improved sanitation and hygiene suitable for agro-pastoralist communities may have a significant importance on the child health and survival in the study area. [Ethiop. J.
