Method: This research uses an analytical survey method with a cross sectional design. The population in this study was 1,120 toddlers in the Naioni Community Health Center Working Area. The sampling technique in this research is cluster random sampling with a sample size of 92 people. Statistical analysis of the data used in this research was the chi square test. Analysis found that variables related to the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers were breastfeeding (pvalue=0.005:RP=3.778), nutritional status (pvalue=0.347:RP=0.589), hand washing behavior (pvalue=0.009:RP=3.429.
