Résumé
Latrine ownership and utilization is an integral part of the Community-Led Total Sanitation concept. This study assessed ownership and utilization of latrines in selected Open Defecation and Open Defecation-Free communities within the Bole district. A cross-sectional survey design and quantitative approach were employed in this study. Simple random sampling was used to select 166 households from 15 Open Defecation and 5 Open Defecation-Free communities. Data collection was done using a structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square, and binary logistic regression. The proportion of latrine ownership and utilization were 22.3% and 6.6% respectively. Educational qualification, tertiary education (aOR: 6.1; 95% CI: 1.05-35.56), household subjective norms (OR: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.04-1.01), and awareness of Community-Led Total Sanitation (aOR: 13.3; 95% CI: 2.95-60.24) were determinants of latrine ownership and or utilisation. In conclusion, latrine ownership and use were generally low with education, awareness of community-led total sanitation, residential status, and household subjective norms as factors associated with ownership and or utilization. Education or sensitization should target cultural norms impeding latrine construction and usage. Again, implementable by-laws/community regulations must be implemented to propel latrine ownership and utilization.
