| Abstract | This study used spatial analysis to explore the relationship between sanitation-related diseases and academic performance among primary school children in the Philippines. The study is a two-part analysis: (a) spatial autocorrelation and cluster analysis, and (b) regression modeling. Global models (Ordinary Least Squares Estimation) were adequate to estimate academic performance at the province level, city level, and Negros-Cebu Area using water and sanitation, disease, health facility, and socioeconomic variables as predictors. However, the relationship between academic performance, poverty incidence, and water conditions in the Greater Manila Area was best modeled using Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression. Cluster analysis also showed that the hotspots of provinces and cities with poor water supply also tend to have poor sanitation facilities and high disease incidence rates. Moreover, this study found that for every increase in the percentage of households with piped drinking water, there is an increase of 0.18 points to the provincial Math average. Similarly, a 0.36-point increase in the provincial Math average is observed for every unit increase in the percentage of households with sanitary toilets. This study also provided evidence that increasing rural health units could positively impact academic performance at the city level, as an increase of 1.27 points in city-aggregated Math average is observed for every unit increase in rural health units per 100,000 population. |
