Determinants of diarrheal disease among under-five children in Damboya district, Kembata zone, Central Ethiopia

Abstract

Diarrhea is defined as the passing of three or more loose or watery stools within a day. It's the second leading cause of death among under-five children worldwide, particularly in sub-Saharan African countries, including Ethiopia. Although there have been studies conducted on childhood diarrhea in different parts of Ethiopia, literature on its determinants in this district is scarce.
