“…It is still one of the top 10 causes of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across all age groups and a substantial cause of death for children [2]. Many associated factors with diarrhea included the age of children, place of residence, maternal education, and household economic condition [8][9][10].

Diarrhea is a global public health problem that is the third leading cause of death in under five years, with an estimated 1.7 billion cases in 2023 and 1.8 million deaths from diarrhea diseases every year. To better understand child diarrhea in Cambodia, we examined descriptively temporal and geospatial trends of diarrhea and used multivariate logistic regression to analyze its association with individual and household characteristics and diarrhea among children aged 0-59 months using data from the Cambodia Demographic and Health Survey for 2005 to 2022. The prevalence of diarrhea among children aged 0–59 months decreased from 19.7% in 2005 to 6.2% in 2022. The highest prevalence of childhood diarrhea in Kampong Cham (30.1%), in Mondul Kiri/Ratanak Kiri (24.6%), Battambang/Pailin (20.9%), and Mondul Kiri/Ratanak Kiri (12.9%) for 2005, 2010, 2014 and 2022. After adjusting for other variables, factors independently associated with childhood diarrhea included mothers aged 25-34 years (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 0.68; 95% CI: 0.48–0.96), 35-49 years (AOR = 0.60; 95% CI: 0.42–0.87), completed higher education (AOR = 0.61; 95% CI: 0.41–0.91), and employed (AOR = 0.79; 95% CI: 0.72– 0.96). Children were less likely to have diarrhea if they were older than 36 months, richest household (AOR = 0.69; 95% CI: 0.55–0.86), coastal region (AOR = 0.53; 95% CI: 0.41–0.69), born to smoker mothers (AOR = 1.61; 95% CI: 1.25–2.08), had barrier access to healthcare services (AOR = 1.20; 95% CI: 1.07–1.35), or children aged 6–23 months. Diarrhea remains highly prevalent among children in Cambodia. Public health interventions and policies to alleviate diarrhea should be prioritized to address these factors across geographical.

“…The impropriety, or even unavailability, of those facilities negatively influences various aspects ranging from health, educational performance, to teacher productivity (6). On the health side, appropriate WASH owns a central role in protection against various diseases such as diarrhea (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). The prevalence of diarrhea in schools that implemented WASH was significantly lower than in schools that did not, by up to 11.4% (12).…”

Introduction: Humans rely heavily on Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) facilities. Goal 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasizes ensuring communities possess universal access to clean water and sanitation. Because WASH is tremendously crucial in schools, the objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive profile of regional inequalities based on the availability of WASH indicators through cluster analysis. Methods: This study administered cross-sectional data from 514 regencies/cities in Indonesia with three variables, i.e. percentage of access to water, sanitation, and hygiene at public and private elementary schools. The profiling was performed by conducting K-means clustering method. Results and Discussion: Public and private schools were examined separately as the p-value in the difference test was less than 0.05. In accordance with the silhouette plot, the optimal number of clusters was two for each category. For the public-school category, the number of regencies/cities in Cluster 1 was 380 regencies/cities and 134 regencies/cities were in Cluster 2. For the private school category, Cluster 1 incorporated 418 regencies/cities and Cluster 2 merely encompassed 96 regencies/cities. Conclusion: Two clusters for each type of school had been established with Cluster 1 consisting of areas with high availability of WASH facilities while areas in Cluster 2 possessed a relatively low percentage in the three WASH indicators. There were 66 regencies/cities, generally located in eastern Indonesian provinces, grouped in Cluster 2 for both types of schools.
