Household profiles of neglected tropical disease symptoms among children: A latent class analysis of built-environment features of Tanzanian households using the Demographic and Health Survey
BACKGROUND: While malaria and neglected tropical disease (NTD) morbidity and mortality rates among children <5 years old have decreased through public health efforts in the United Republic of Tanzania, associations between household environments and disease outcomes are relatively unknown. METHOD...

description | BACKGROUND: While malaria and neglected tropical disease (NTD) morbidity and mortality rates among children <5 years old have decreased through public health efforts in the United Republic of Tanzania, associations between household environments and disease outcomes are relatively unknown. METHODS: We conducted latent class analysis (LCA) on 2015-2016 Tanzania Demographic Health Survey data from mothers with children <5 years old (N = 10 233) to identify NTD household risk profiles. The outcome of child NTD was assessed by mothers’ reports of recent diarrhoea, cough, treatment for enteric parasites, and fever symptoms. Household-built environment indicators included urban/rural designation, electricity access, water source, cooking fuel, flooring, wall, and roofing materials. External environmental covariates were considered to further differentiate profiles. RESULTS: Five profiles were identified in the sample: rural finished walls households (40.2%) with the lowest NTD risk; rural rudimentary households (20.9%) with intermediate-low NTD risk; finished material households (22.5%) with intermediate NTD risk; urban households (14.4%) with intermediate-high NTD risk and high likelihood of enteric parasites; rural finished roof/walls households (2.1%) with the highest overall NTD risk. CONCLUSIONS: This study is among the first to use LCA to examine household environment characteristics to assess child NTD risk in Tanzania. This paper serves as a framework for community-level rapid NTD risk assessment for targeted health promotion interventions. |
