Over the last few years, with the focus of the sustainable development goals on universal access to water supply, sanitation, and hygiene facilities, awareness of the need for programs to reach and benefit everyone has been growing. But the current level of access to latrines is not known.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n To determine latrine access and identify factors associated with it among people with physically disability in Kombolcha town, 2020.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n A community-<\/jats:bold>\n based mixed cross-sectional study was conducted among physically disabled people in Kombolcha town in April 2020. Quantitative data was collected from 374 randomly selected study participants using structured interviewer-administered questioners.
