Four communities; Gege and Opopo Yeosa (noted for poor environmental sanitation), in Ibadan South-east and North-west respectively; Oluyole and Bodija estates (noted for good environmental sanitation), in Ibadan South-West and Ibadan North, respectively were purposively sampled. The instrument used was Focus Group Discussion Guide Data were analysed using content analysis.
