Multidomain determinants of clinically assessed cutaneous leishmaniasis in Sodo District, Ethiopia: anonymized dataset and codebook

Description

This dataset contains anonymized individual-level data supporting the study:

“Integrated One Health determinants of clinically assessed cutaneous leishmaniasis in Sodo District, Ethiopia: a community-based cross-sectional study.”

The study evaluated structural, environmental, behavioral, and reservoir-related determinants of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) within a multidomain One Health framework in six kebeles of Sodo District, Ethiopia.
