Hasil : Data penelitian didapatkan bahwa sebanyak 24 (30%) responden tidak mengalami kejadian diare, sedangkan sebanyak 56 (70%) responden mengalami kejadian diare. Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat pendidikan orang tua (p-value = 1,195), status ekonomi (p-value = 0,256), penyediaan air bersih (p-value = 0,254), jamban keluarga (p-value = 0,147), dan pengelolaan limbah cair (p-value = 0,336) terhadap kejadian diare pada balita usia 0-60 bulan di wilayah Gunungsari Kabupaten Lombok Barat. Kesimpulan : Tidak terdapat hubungan antara tingkat pendidikan orang tua, status ekonomi, penyediaan air bersih, jamban keluarga, dan pengelolaan limbah cair terhadap kejadian diare pada balita usia 0-60 bulan di wilayah Gunungsari Kabupaten Lombok Barat.
