Quantitative research results show that most respondents have not reached five pillars of STBM (68.6%), less than half of respondents (45.1%) have low knowledge of sanitation, more than half of respondents (51%) are negative towards sanitation, and more than half of respondents (52%) said health workers had little role to play in sanitation.
