Parental lack of knowledge and especially lack of hygienic practices followed during the feeding are the factors which increases the prevalence of diarrhoea. Diarrhoea-related dehydration is still a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and higher health-care expenses. In the prevalence of diarrhoea in children, maternal knowledge, attitudes, and practices linked to cleanliness, nursing, sanitary food preparation, and suitable weaning procedures are potentially key variables. However, few research has been conducted on the knowledge and attitudes of parents in urban slums about childhood diarrhoea. Objective: This study aims at assessing the caregivers’ knowledge and attitudes regarding diarrhoea in under-five children among urban slums of Raipur.
