Exposure to other children with diarrhea is the primary risk factor for rotavirus diarrhea in Apache children. Improving sanitation and minimizing contact with sick children are key prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Rotavirus is a significant cause of diarrhea in young children globally.
  • Understanding risk factors is crucial for effective prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify risk factors for rotavirus diarrhea in children under two years old on the White Mountain Apache reservation.

Main Methods:

  • A case-control study was conducted involving fifty cases and seventy controls (45 hospital, 25 neighborhood).
  • Data was collected through interviews with mothers of participants.

Main Results:

  • Contact with other children experiencing diarrhea was the most significant risk factor (Odds Ratio = 14.0).
  • Living in homes with septic tanks and poor environmental sanitation were also identified as risk factors.

Conclusions:

  • Reducing contact between children and those with diarrhea is the most effective preventive measure.
  • Environmental sanitation improvements are important for controlling rotavirus spread in this community.
