Results: The results of this study obtained that there is no relationship between sources of clean water used for daily activities with the incidence of diarrhea in infants (p-value = 0.68: OR = 3.051). There is a correlation between hand washing habits with soap and the prevalence of diarrhea in infants (p-value= 0.024: OR = 7,000), and there is a relationship between the practice of using latrines with the incidence of diarrhea in infants (p-value= 0.019: OR = 4.125). Conclusion: this study obtained the relationship between respondents' habits in handwashing with soap to the incidence of diarrhea in infants.
