The population was parents of children under five in the working area. This study used purposive sampling, with a sample of 100 respondents. Data analysis was done by univariate, bivariate with chi-square test and odds ratio. Results: The results showed that the incidence of recurrent Non Pneumonia ARI in toddlers had a significant relationship with knowledge (p-value = 0.017; OR = 0.27, attitude (p-value = 0.003; OR = 0.27), use of health care facilities ( p-value = 0.371; OR = 0.58), ventilation (p-value = 0.028; OR = 0.29), smokers in the house (p-value = 0,000; OR = 7.56), the role of health workers (p-value = 0,000; OR = 0.17). Conclusion: Recommendations need further research to develop a model of prevention of recurrent Non-Pneumonia ARI in infants according to the risk factors of the incident found so that it can.Keywords: Acute Respiratory Infection, Infants, Risk factor.]]>
