INTRODUCTION

This study aimed to determine the health and sanitation problems and practices of selected pupils of Sto. Domingo Elementary School, Sto. Domingo, Bambang Nueva Vizcaya. Specifically, it sought to give answer to the profile of the pupils in the terms of age, gender, parent’s occupation, family background and family income. The health and sanitation practices were those in the terms of practices done in the school, in their homes in the community. Health problems were those common problems like   fever and chills, skin diseases, dental problems and malnutrition.

The descriptive-normative survey was used in this study with a questionnaire as its main gathering instrument. A total of 125 pupils chosen through random sampling were the pupil-respondents of the study. On the other hand, seven teacher-respondents were asked to fill up the health survey form to identify the percentage of school population found to suffer from health problems. The frequency, percentage and weighted mean were employed to treat the data.
