Abstract

dietary diversity WASH Water sanitation and hygiene Food Security Tajikistan
In Tajikistan, challenges related to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) remain among the top factors contributing to death and disability. In this study, we described household WASH practices, especially those related to cooking and food storage, and determined predictors of WASH practices among 52 Tajik households. Data describing household characteristics, food security, WASH practices, and dietary diversity were collected. Positive predictors of household WASH score were paternal grandfather as head of household (p = .028), increasing food security score (p < .01) and increasing head of household educational level (p = .021). Our findings suggest that certain households could particularly benefit from WASH intervention.
