description OBJECTIVE: Lack of sanitation affecting billions of people worldwide is a serious public health problem of Ethiopia. So, we aimed at examining the influence of community interventions on households’ latrine ownership status in Northwest Ethiopia. RESULTS: The proportion of households owning latrines were 47% (95% CI 42.5, 52.0). Community Lead Total Sanitation practice in the kebele [AOR = 1.78, 95% CI (1.57, 2.03)], health facilities available in the village [AOR = 2.37, 95% CI (2.14, 2.64)], and increased educational attainment of the head of the household were statistically significantly associated with households’ latrine ownership. So, we recommend expansion of community interventions for those who are not yet reached.
