Background.
Open defecation was largely a rural phenomenon most widely attributed to poor latrine ownership at community level.
We aimed at examining latrine ownership and its determinants in rural villages of the Tigray region, Northern Ethiopia.
Methods.
Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June to July 2018.
A total of 756 randomly selected households were involved in the study.
The multistage cluster sampling technique was used to select study households.
Data were checked, coded, and entered into Epi-Info version 7.
Besides, it was exported to SPSS version 20 for data analysis.
Multivariable logistic regression analysis was involved to estimate the net effect size of factors associated with latrine ownership.
Results.
The proportion of households owning latrine was 35.7%.
The majority (84.4%) of constructed latrines were utilized by household families.
Households advocated latrine IEC by Health Extension Workers (HEWs) (AOR = 1.902, 95% CI: 1.269–2.852), living in their private house (AOR = 3.13, 95% CI: 1.528–6.401), and the occupation status of government employees (AOR = 3.54, 95% CI: 0.586–21.397) are more likely to lead to the construction of latrines.
The availability of latrine made on slab floor (AOR = 1.790, 95% CI: 0.297–3.102), having a latrine constructed inside the household compound (AOR = 4.463, 95% CI: 1.021–19.516), and delivery of latrine IEC by Women Development Armies (WDAs) (AOR = 2.425, 95% CI: 0.728–8.083) may lead to better latrine utilization at the household level.
Conclusion.
Households owning latrine at the community level were low.
The desired level of latrine ownership will be realized if all sanitation and hygiene components are kept on eye side by side in line with identified predictor factors.
