Notes

Quantity of water used in the preparation of the oral rehydration solution, recorded in milliliters. Responses recorded in fixed categories such as ½ liter, 1 liter, 1½ liters are recoded as 500, 1000, 1500 milliliters. Responses recorded as bottle sizes (e.g. , beer bottle, coke bottle) are recoded into their respective sizes (e.g. , 333, 250). If the size of a particular container (e.g., a glass) was not known, this is recorded as code 9995. If the respondent said that she followed the instructions on the packet, this response is code 9994. If the whole packet was not used in the preparation of the solution, the code 9993 is given. Other answers are coded 9996. In certain countries, several units for the measurement of water are included in the questionnaire (see the individual questionnaires). The responses to these questions are recorded as country-specific questions, with the units recoded into the coding scheme in this variable.
