SANITARY FACILITIES
Data on the type of toilet facility used
by the family (flush toilet inside house,
common facility for a group of families, or
other facility such is pit privy) were also
obtained during the home visits by the interviewers.
The data on these facilities are
presented together with those on piped
water in Table 185, for 13 cities and eight
other areas of the 13 Latin American projects
combined, in households of infants dying
in the neonatal and the postaneonatal
periods. Here again it can be seen that
conditions were less favorable for families
of infants who died in the postneonatal
period.
The most satisfactory conditions (piped
water inside house and flush toilet) were
found in 31.3 per cent of the households of
infants in the neonatal group in the 13
cities combined, but they were found in only
19.5 per cent of households of the other
group of infants in these cities. In the eight
other areas the percentages for both groups
were low, 11.8 and 5.1, respectively.
The percentages of households with neither
piped water nor toilet facilities in-
