Factors relating to the presence and use of sanitary facilities in rural Swaziland.
Findings related to latrine construction and use in a sample of rural homesteads in Swaziland are summarized from a larger, unpublished sample survey. Anthropological research techniques were also used to gain information on attitudes and beliefs. Pit latrines were found in 21% of the sampled homesteads. The most significant variables in predicting the presence of a latrine were respondent's education and the highest level of education achieved by anyone in the residential unit. Older people and small children were least likely to use a latrine; people with less education were least likely to even have a latrine.
