Interviewer instructions
Survey Coordinators: Adapt to include the country-specific terms used for the Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) packet, recommended home fluid, and pre-packaged ORS fluid. Adapt locally to include the country-specific recommended home fluids. Ingredients promoted by the government for making the recommended home fluids should be reflected in separate categories of 'government-recommended homemade fluid'. If no pre-packaged ORS exists in the country, delete this category. We want to know if and what type of oral rehydration solution (ORS) the child took during the last episode of diarrhoea. Ask each question separately: “Was (name) given a fluid made from a special packet called (local name for ORS packet solution)?, Was (name) given a pre-packaged ORS fluid for diarrhoea?” and so forth. Read each item aloud and circle the code corresponding to the response before proceeding to the next item.
