Globally, waste management has been a major public health problem. Public knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP) and participation are key elements of any waste management program. In Ethiopia, however, the level of KAP and associated factors regarding wastewater management (WWM) at the household level are not well studied and understood. This study was, therefore, conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude, practice and associated factors of wastewater management (WWM) among the residents in Gondar town, Ethiopia.
