Assessment of knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding cholera among people living in a cholera-endemic health zone in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Our findings indicate that health education initiatives targeting younger demographics should be intensified to enhance awareness of cholera prevention and household water treatment. Furthermore, there is a need for targeted interventions to provide public standpipes and community boreholes, as well as to improve the coverage of covered pit latrines, especially for poorer households.
