Descriptive Statistics of 307 Participants in a Zimbabwe Cholera Prevention Study

Saime Ulucayli's dataset contains descriptive statistics from a quantitative cross-sectional study of 307 adult residents in rural and urban Zimbabwe. The data, last updated in April 2026, was collected via a structured online survey to investigate structural determinants of the knowledge-practice gap in cholera prevention. It likely contains participant demographics and scores from scales measuring knowledge, individual agency, and structural access related to WASH behaviors.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between cholera knowledge and individual agency behaviors based on the regression results mentioned in the description.
• Investigating the influence of residence and socio-economic factors on structural access to WASH resources as described in the study.
• Examining gender disparities in sanitation practice scores to understand the burden of sanitation insecurity.
• Testing theories of structural violence and the Integrated Behavioral Model for WASH using the decomposed practice scales.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a study of 307 participants, providing a specific sample size.
• The analysis decomposes WASH practices into two distinct dimensions (Individual Agency and Structural Access) using Exploratory Factor Analysis.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely summary-level statistics rather than raw survey responses.
