This is a cross-sectional quantitative study purported to identify features deemed to persuade the usage of LLINs in exterminating incidences of malaria-death in Ghana. The population consisted of mothers and caregivers of children under five in Asamankese a district in the Eastern region of Ghana. Questionnaires were developed based on the profile and the set of study objectives, it sought information on socio-economic variables, knowledge level on LLINs, and influence of climatic and environmental factors on LLINs usage. Data were coded and keyed into SPSS version 20. Frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, graphs and tables were used to explore the data. Chi-square test was used to do further investigation. It was revealed that LLINs usage was influenced by a group of features including: background characteristics of household; socio-economic variables, environmental variables and knowledge on importance of LLINs. There was an association between LLINs usage and monthly income of caregivers (p<0.05). Furthermore, there was a significant relationship (p<0.05) between environmental features and LLINs usage. There was a relationship (p<0.05) between one’s knowledge and use of LLINs. In addition, there was a relationship between usage and the number of times per month visits were made to the hospitals for health care. Environmental factors permitted the use of LLINs, Eighty-six (86%) of the respondents who used LLINs did use it because the weather aided them. It is recommended that behavior change education be intensified in the region so that more people can accept and adopt a lifestyle that will protect them from the deadly malaria diseases. Efforts must be made by the major players in the health sector to make the net readily available in the communities at low prices to enable the ordinary Ghanaian to purchase it.

Diarrhea is an environment-based disease endemic in Indonesia with a high prevalence rate resulted from contaminated dug wells. From this study, we want to know the influence of environmental factors, namely microbiology of water, clean water facilities (CWF), toilet facilities and sewerage facilities (SF) and the availability of trash bins against the incidence of acute diarrhea. We used cross sectional observational analytic study with a total of 228 users of dug wells and 38 dug wells that met the inclusion criteria in the Community Health Center. We used questionnaires and checklists to collect data of variables CWF, latrine, SF and availability of trash bins also laboratory results from the Kediri Regional Health Laboratory for water microbiology. We analyzed the data by Chi square test and Linear Regression and the bivariate test results showed that water microbiological factors p = 0,000, CWF p = 0,000, toilet facilities p = 0,001 and SF p = 0,005 which significantly affected the incidence of diarrhea. The multivariate test results showed that water microbiological factors had the most significant effect on the incidence of diarrhea (p = 0,000; OR: 4,67; 95% CI: 2,51 - 8,7). The need for counseling interventions as well as improving the quality of well water and CWF by improving well construction, checking well water regularly and cooking well water before consumption. There exist a need to form a closed, permanent and non-stagnant SF and the construction of clean toilets, non-soil floors and a distance of septic tanks > 10m from CWF.
