of all the four agricultural zonesin Oyo State and those zones are;
Ibadan/Ibarapa, Ogbomoso, Oyo, and Saki. The second stage involved
purposive selection of two blocks from each of the agricultural zone
which are known for water borne disease incidences and their access to
information from water and sanitation (WATSAN) unit of the local
government councils. So, Akinyele, Ibarapa east, Ogo-Oluwa, Oriire,
Iseyin, Oyo east, Saki east and Olorunsogo respectively were selected.
The third stage involved random selection of two villages from each of
the selected blocks: and a total of 230 household heads were sampled.
Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The mean
household size is 6. Based on Sources of water sanitation information:
57.8 percent got through neighbours and friends, 61.7 percent got through school, 48.3 percent got information through postal and
leaflet, while 76.1 percent got water sanitation information through
the radio. financial constraint ranked first as the most serious
constraint with the weighted mean score of 2.18, Others like
inappropriateness of the information 2nd(1.95), practicality of the
information 3rd(1.78) and low level of education 3rd(1.78) ranked
