Results: Association between socioeconomic and maternal self-efficacy variables: family income (p = 0.049), child age (p = 0.010), house type (p = 0.042), garbage destination (p = 0.037), sewage (p = 0.016) and sanitary type (p = 0.006). Regarding knowledge about causes of diarrhea: warmth/heat (p = 0.021); dentition (p = 0.030).
