Knowledge and practices on diarrheal illness and associated factors in Lebanon
The findings of this study revealed that while some participants demonstrated awareness regarding diarrheal illness, with over two-third reporting having no prior information about the disease. These results highlight important knowledge gaps within the Lebanese population that warrant attention. To address these gaps, targeted health education initiatives focusing on diarrhea prevention, management, and care-seeking behaviors are recommended to enhance public awareness and promote better health practices.
