Data were collected through structured questionnaires and direct observation, then analyzed using the chi-square test with a 95% confidence level. The statistical test results showed a significant relationship between latrine facilities and the incidence of diarrhea (p = 0.050; OR = 0.306), as well as a highly significant relationship between hygiene behavior and the incidence of diarrhea (p = 0.000; OR = 0.089).
