Prevalence and Treatment of Diarrhea Among Children in India, 2016-2021
This cross-sectional study of the prevalence of child diarrhea and its treatment with ORS in India found that the prevalence of ORS treatment for child diarrhea increased at a national level between 2016 and 2021, but this increase was not even between or within India's 720 districts. The findings suggest that efforts aimed at promoting ORS treatment for child diarrhea in India must address the place-based factors that might be associated with underuse of this treatment.
