Background.
Increased mortality is associated with poor household water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) practices.
The objective was to study the WaSH practices for under-five children among households of Sugali Tribe, Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Methods.
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in four mandals in 2012.
A total of 500 households with under-five children were identified.
Data was collected from mothers/caregivers.
A summary WaSH score was generated from four specific indices, water, sanitation, hygiene, and hand washing practices, and determinants were identified.
Results.
Of the total households, 69% reported doing nothing at home to make the water safe for drinking.
Over 90% of the households reported storing water in a utensil covered with a lid and retrieving water by dipping glass in the vessels.
Open defecation was a commonly reported practice (84.8%).
About three-fifths of the study’s households reported using water and soap for cleaning dirty hands and one-third (37.4%) reported using water and soap after defecation.
The median WaSH score was 15.
In the hierarchical stepwise multiple linear regression, only socioeconomic variables were significantly associated with WaSH score.
Conclusion.
WaSH related practices were generally poor in people of the Sugali Tribe in Andhra Pradesh, India.
