  "abstract": "Background: In crisis-affected settings, including contexts characterized by internal displacement, access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services is frequently disrupted or remains inadequate.\n\nObjective: To assess WASH practices and identify factors associated with good WASH practices among internally displaced households in crisis-affected settings.\n\nMethods: This study used a cross-sectional design and collected data through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire. A total of 627 women from internally displaced were surveyed. Descriptive statistics were reported as proportions and adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to quantify the associations between variables.\n\nResults: Only 39.9% of households had good WASH practices. Women aged 31 to 39 years (AOR = 1.61; 95% CI: 1.05–2.47) and ≥ 40 years (AOR = 2.11; 95% CI: 1.19–3.72) were associated with better household WASH practices. Households without access to improved sanitation (AOR = 0.40; 95% CI: 0.24–0.67) were less likely to have good WASH practice.\n\nConclusion: These findings highlight the need for integrated public health and humanitarian interventions to improve WASH facilities in temporary shelters and strengthen targeted hygiene promotion, particularly among younger women.",
