Description

Definition
ORSBF4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a primary health post as a source for oral rehydration solution (ORS). ORS is typically used to treat dehydration in individuals with diarrhea. This response is country-specific to Burkina Faso.

Some samples in the "ORS" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

ORSBF4 is combined with ORSBF3 (public health post) in ORSPUBHP (all public health posts) for the 1993 Burkina Faso sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ORSBF4 are encouraged to review ORSPUBHP for a more comprehensive response category.
