Diarrhoeal diseases are among the most common and widespread diseases in the world. The overall objective of this study is to determine the risk factors for diarrhoeal diseases in order to contribute to the implementation of sustainable control measures in the Kailo health zone. We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study in two health areas in Katako and Nyoka. Approximately 400 households with at least one child under 5 years of age were selected by 3-stage probability sampling. The study period was from January to December 2017, and a survey sheet was used to collect the data. The analyses were performed using the EPI DATA 3.1 software and exported to the SPSS 23 software. The lack of handwashing facilities in households, (Odd Ratio=0.425 p=0.005 IC= 0.23; 0.78), ignorance of the causes of diarrhoea (Odd Ratio= 0.537 IC=0.33 ;0.87 p=0.016) and poor attitude towards the child's diarrhoea (Odd Ratio=0.514 CI at 95%= 0.298; 0.886) p=0.017). The study showed that the occurrence of diarrhoeal diseases in this health zone is significantly associated with the use of surface water as the main source of drinking water (OR=2.186 p=0.042), the lack of handwashing facilities in households (OR=0.425 p=0.005), ignorance of the causes of diarrhoea (OR= 0.537 p=0.016) and poor attitude towards children's diarrhoea (OR=0.514 p=0.017).

Abstract
Diarrhoeal diseases are among the most common and widespread diseases in the world. The overall objective of this study is to determine the risk factors for diarrhoeal diseases in order to contribute to the implementation of sustainable control measures in the Kailo health zone. We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study in two health areas in Katako and Nyoka. Approximately 400 households with at least one child under 5 years of age were selected by 3-stage probability sampling. The study period was from January to December 2017, and a survey sheet was used to collect the data. The analyses were performed using the EPI DATA 3.1 software and exported to the SPSS 23 software. The lack of handwashing facilities in households, (Odd Ratio=0.425 p=0.005 IC= 0.23; 0.78), ignorance of the causes of diarrhoea (Odd Ratio= 0.537 IC=0.33 ;0.87 p=0.016) and poor attitude towards the child's diarrhoea (Odd Ratio=0.514 CI at 95%= 0.298; 0.886) p=0.017). The study showed that the occurrence of diarrhoeal diseases in this health zone is significantly associated with the use of surface water as the main source of drinking water (OR=2.186 p=0.042), the lack of handwashing facilities in households (OR=0.425 p=0.005), ignorance of the causes of diarrhoea (OR= 0.537 p=0.016) and poor attitude towards children's diarrhoea (OR=0.514 p=0.017).
