Questions and instructions

Question pretext

All living children born in the last five years for H11 (B19 < 60 and B5 = 1), and children having an episode of diarrhea in the last two weeks (H11 = 1 or H11 = 2) for H11B to H21.

Others

Notes

Whether the child received a sugar-salt-water solution from a special packet (ORS). H13 is coded 1 if the respondent spontaneously reported giving ORS to treat the diarrhea, and code 2 if it was reported only after probing. Code 1 is country specific for surveys after DHS-II.
