In low-income, pathogen- and fecal contamination-rich, urban settings where sanitary conditions are poor, our study suggests better sanitary conditions measured via a sanitary survey may be associated with lower measures of environmental fecal contamination relative to poorer scores, though the absolute difference in contamination between poor and better sanitary conditions is minor and the association we found was borderline significant.
