Similarly, in the intervention group, households had more odds of attaining the open defecation free status (13.20; 95%CI: 3.26- 53.55) compared to the control group (Table 5).
Contexto
What changed: Health profession students facilitated Community-Led Total Sanitation community triggering and follow-up visits.
