Interviewer instructions

Questions 3-5. Diarrhea is defined as three or more loose stools per day. We want to know how diarrhea was treated. Be careful not to include dysentery here; dysentery, which may be identified by the presence of blood and / or mucus in the stool, is a much more serious disease, and is not treated with ORS. Instead, if a spell of dysentery lasted one week or more, this should be covered in Part A.
