| dc.description.abstract | We examined the relationship between uses of the sari that are potential health hazards and episodes of diarrhoea in children younger than 6 years in 247 families living in 51 slums in Dhaka, Bangladesh. These misuses appeared to be common (median of three per observation period) and were largely unrecognized by the women as possible sources of disease transmission. There appeared to be a positive correlation between the number of misuses of the sari and episodes of childhood diarrhoea | en |
