| Abstract | This report presents the findings of a three month study of belief and practice concerning diarrhoea and hygiene in slums which aims to find practical ways of improving the situation. Among the preliminary conclusions are that: i. the main risk factors for the spread of diarrhoeal disease are: a. the unsafe disposal of child stools; b. the lack of adequate hand washing after contact with faecal material. Some recommendations are made on how these problems could be remedied. |
