More than half of the respondents have a good home-based management practice of diarrhea in children under 5 years old. Caregivers' educational status, being mothers of the child, and monthly income were the identified predictors. As a result, health education and awareness programs for caregivers on diarrhea control, proper use of oral rehydration solution, home-based fluid preparation, and diarrhea prevention are critical.
