| Summary, etc. | Abstract:<br/><br/>Many diseases that human beings contract are associated with risk behaviours. Enlightening people about such behaviors is a duty of paramount importance in public health. A cross-sectional study to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices on health risks of dumping wastes in Lake Victoria among residents of lake side villages of Muleba District in Kagera was carried out by the researcher. <br/><br/>Data were collected using structured closed questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS. On knowledge of diseases, diarrhea ranked first (35.1%), being followed by schistosomiasis (21.2%). Early hospital attendance (67.5%) was found to be the best method of combating such diseases. From the study, 40% of residents viewed negligence as a main driving force for dumping wastes in lake water. And as regards residents’ practice, 68.9% of them had no reliable toilets, and only 16% of the population boil lake water before using it for drinking. <br/><br/>In addition, the study went further to investigate the types of waste thrown in the lake. Among solid wastes, food remains accounted for 58.9%; among liquid wastes 50.3% consisted of petrol and kerosene, and among those wastes coming from fishing-industry plastic bottles ranked first with 35.8%. In this study factors influencing the dumping of wastes in lake water were also discussed among them public markets conducted along the shores leading by 64%. <br/> |
