Latrine diffusion patterns across 502 villages in Benin, West Africa, were analysed to explore factors driving initial and increasing levels of household adoption in low-coverage rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Variables explaining adoption related to population density, size, infrastructure/services, non-agricultural occupations, road and urban proximity, and the nearby latrine adoption rate, capturing differences in the physical and social environment, lifestyles and latrine exposure involved in stimulating status/prestige and well-being reasons for latrine adoption. Contagion was most important in explaining adoption initiation. Cluster analysis revealed four distinct village typologies of demand for latrines which provide a framework for tailoring promotional interventions to better match the different sanitation demand characteristics of communities in scaling-up sanitation development and promotion programmes.
对西非贝宁 502 个村庄的厕所扩散模式进行了分析，以探讨在撒哈拉以南非洲低覆盖农村地区推动家庭最初采用和增加采用厕所的因素。解释采用相关的变量与人口密度、规模、基础设施/服务、非农职业、道路和城市接近度以及附近厕所采用率有关，这些变量捕捉了在刺激地位/声誉和卫生设施采用的福祉原因方面涉及的物质和社会环境、生活方式和厕所暴露的差异。传染在解释采用的初始阶段最为重要。聚类分析揭示了四种不同类型的村庄对厕所的需求，这为定制宣传干预措施提供了框架，以便更好地满足社区在扩大卫生发展和推广方案方面的不同卫生需求特征。
