Determinants of Diarrhea in Under-Five Children Among Health Extension Model and Non-Model Families in Wama Hagelo District, West Ethiopia: Community-Based Comparative Cross-Sectional Study.

Diarrhea was more frequent among non-model than model families. Family size, type of water source, using a latrine, place of childbirth, child vaccination against Rotavirus, and vitamin A supplementation were independently associated with the occurrence of diarrhea in under-five children. Encouraging all non-model families to become models in implementing all health extension packages by strengthening community participation is important to decrease childhood diarrhea in under-five children.
