  1. PD = prevalence difference
  2. A Two week prevalence of household diarrhea
  3. BThe final model was adjusted for water source only.
  4. CThe full multivariate model was adjusted for water source, tambos (as a proxy for location in a flood prone region), time to the health center, number of individuals in the household, and education level of the head of household (as a proxy for socioeconomic status)
