Dataset containing results of a baseline survey performed by the Stronger SAFE project to identify risk factors for trachoma in the Oromia region of Ethiopia. Data was collected from 247 households via structured questionnaire, eye swabs, and Conjunctival field examination between 11 April and 25 June 2018. The dataset contains information on participant socio-demographics, water and sanitation practices, and connectedness of the communication. Findings indicates that personal hygiene in younger age groups (presence of ocular and nasal discharges, infrequent washing of faces and clothing) and fly-eye contacts are potential risk factors for trachoma in this setting, suggesting that hygiene interventions and environmental improvements are required to suppress transmission to ensure sustained reduction in disease burden.
