Latrine Structure Design and Conditions and the Practice of Open Defecation in Lodwar Town Turkana County Kenya: A Quantitative Methods Research

摘要

Poor latrine conditions, structure, and design may deter latrine use and provoke reversion to open defecation (OD). Statistics show that only 18% of the households in Turkana County, Kenya, have access to a latrine facility with most of these facilities in poor structural designs and poor hygienic conditions, which encourages rampant OD practices.
