The present study assessed the prevalence and associated risk factors of under-five children diarrheal disease Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Soddo town, Southern Ethiopia. Nine hundred seventy (970) mothers/ care takers of index under-five children living in the households selected by systematic random sampling from Kebeles in the town constituted the study population. Data were collected using structured and pre-tested questionnaire, entered into a computer, edited and cleaned by using Epi info version 3.5.4 and analyzed using SPSS for windows version 16.0. Binary logistic regression model was used to calculate the Odds ratios and 95% confidence interval for the different risk factors and the level of significance was set at P < 0.05. Out of 970 sampled mother/caretaker-child pairs, 954 participated in the study and giving a response rate of 98.4%. The mean ages of the respondents and the index children were 27.62 (+5.03SD) years and 26.41(+15.89 SD) months, respectively. Prevalence of diarrheal disease over a period of two weeks preceding the study was about 11%. In the Bivariate analysis, a number of risk factors including monthly income less than five hundred birr and age of the child (P<0.05) appeared to be significantly associated with under-five childhood diarrheal disease and number of siblings under 5 years in a household, monthly income less than 500Birr and the age 12-23 months of the child were the only significant variables on multivariate analyses (P< 0.05). As diarrheal disease was major problem among under-five children in Soddo town.
