Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Survey of Water and Sanitation in Swaziland.

摘要

A knowledge, attitudes, and practices survey relating to water and sanitation was conducted in rural Swaziland to provide baseline data for the design of a national health education strategy aimed at reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases. Special attention was given to behavioral and sociocultural factors. This report describes the survey methodology and respondents' characteristics; presents the findings in the areas of water, sanitation and hygiene, infant feeding, and water-and sanitation-related diseases; and suggests health education strategies.
