Interviewer instructions

For those children who had diarrhoea in the past 2 weeks, 'illness' in this and the next question refers to the diarrhoea episode. Disregard any additional illness these children might have had. If dehydrated, a child may take more fluids than usual. We want to know if the pattern of fluid consumption changed during the illness. The focus in this question is on how much fluid was actually consumed by the child. Ask the question just as it is worded here. Read out the entire question and circle the appropriate code for the caretaker's response. Get the respondent's best judgement of the relative amount of total fluids actually consumed by the child. All fluids are included, not just special ones given during diarrhoea. For example, water, tea, fruit juice, breastmilk and formula are included as well as special fluids such as ORS. Try to find out what actually happened, not what the respondent thinks ought to have happened. An answer such as, "A child with diarrhoea (or 'a child who is ill') needs more fluids" is not satisfactory. You would need to ask, "BUT HOW MUCH DID YOUR CHILD ACTUALLY DRINK DURING THIS DIARRHOEA?" It may be difficult to estimate the relative amount of breastmilk taken by the child. The respondent may make an estimate based on whether the child nursed longer or more frequently.
