Determinants of Improved Household Sanitation Use in Ethiopia: A Multilevel Logistic Regression Analysis

This study reveals substantial regional and sociodemographic disparities in the use of improved sanitation facilities in Ethiopia. Households headed by married, educated, and wealthier individuals living in urban areas with private latrines and home ownership are more likely to have improved sanitation. Targeted interventions focusing on rural, poorer, less educated, and female-headed households are essential to enhance access to improved sanitation. Addressing these disparities is critical for Ethiopia to achieve its national sanitation goals and contribute toward the Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being.
