Interviewer instructions
Diarrhoea is determined as perceived by mother or caretaker, or as three or more loose or watery stools per day, or blood in stool.

When asking this question, insert the name of the day of the interview. For example, if the interview is taking place on a Tuesday, ask: "Has he/she had diarrhoea in the last two weeks, that is, since Tuesday of the week before last?"

Record the mother's/primary caretaker's answer by circling the corresponding code. If a respondent is not sure what is meant by diarrhoea, tell her/him it means "three or more loose or watery stools per day, or blood in the stool." Make sure the respondent understands what is meant by "in the last two weeks." If the child has not had diarrhoea in the last two weeks or the caretaker doesn't know, skip to CA5.
