<![CDATA[Background: Diarrhea is a disease that occurs when there is a change in stool consistency other than the frequency of bowel movements. A person is said to have diarrhea if their stools are more watery than usual, or if they have three or more episodes of loose stools within 24 hours that are non-bloody. Method: This research is analytical descriptive in nature, conducted from January 25 to February 20, 2019, at Lampulo Community Health Center. The study sample consisted of 76 mothers with toddlers. Primary data were obtained through interviews with the respondents, while secondary data were collected from Lampulo Community Health Center in Banda Aceh. Data processing was done using SPSS software, with statistical analysis employing non-parametric tests such as Chi-square, analyzed both univariately and bivariately. Result: There was no significant relationship found regarding access to clean water (p value = 0.558), sanitation facilities (p value = 0.238), breastfeeding practices (p value= 0.410), and handwashing habits (p value = 1.000). However, there was a significant association with immunization status (p value = 0.021).
