The study was conducted on 313 model and 313 non model households to assess latrine utilization and factors affecting among model and non-model families.
About 225 (71.9%) model and 144 (46%) non-model participants declared that they utilize their latrine which gave the overall utilization rate of 369 (58.9%). Households with primary and above education were two times (AOR = 2.03, 95% CI 1.427, 4.638) more likely to utilize latrine as compared with illiterate households. Cleanness of the latrine was also found to be associated with latrine utilization in both model and non-model families. Age, type of latrine, latrine supper structure, cleanness and observable soap near the latrine in model families and age, educational status, occupation, latrine privacy and cleanness in non-model families were identified as a statistical significant factor for latrine utilization.
对313个示范家庭和313个非示范家庭进行研究，以评估厕所使用情况以及影响示范家庭和非示范家庭使用厕所的因素。
约225名（71.9%）示范家庭参与者和144名（46%）非示范家庭参与者表示他们使用自家厕所，总体使用率为369人（58.9%）。与文盲家庭相比，受过小学及以上教育的家庭使用厕所的可能性高出两倍（调整后比值比=2.03，95%置信区间1.427，4.638）。研究还发现，示范家庭和非示范家庭中厕所的清洁程度都与厕所使用情况有关。在示范家庭中，年龄、厕所类型、厕所上层结构、清洁程度以及厕所附近是否有可见肥皂；在非示范家庭中，年龄、教育程度、职业、厕所私密性和清洁程度，均被确定为影响厕所使用的统计学显著因素。
