Hasil pelaksanaan program PHBS tentang mencuci tangan, menurut studi WHO tahun 2007 menyatakan, kejadian diare menurun 45% dengan perilaku mencuci tangan pakai sabun, 32% dengan meningkatkan akses masyarakat terhadap sanitasi dasar, dan 39% perilaku pengelolaan air minum yang di rumah tangga, dengan upaya tersebut kejadian diare menurun sebesar 94% (Depkes RI, 2007).
