Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; aOR, adjusted odds ratio.
↵a Reference: absence of latrine (adjusted for individual variables: child’s age and sex, presence of an improved water source, handwashing behavior at 4 critical times).
↵b Reference: presence of a latrine but not a study-improved one (adjusted for individual variables: child’s age and sex, presence of improved water source, handwashing behavior at 4 critical times).
c All the data of June, December, and January were pooled.
d Blanks in the crude and adjusted analysis: the regression model did not converge.
