  2. Diarrhoeal diseases (post-neonatal) 17% Other diseases and Acute injuries respiratory 13% infections 19% Malaria More than half of under five deaths associated with malnutrition 8% Measles 4% Neonatal HIV/AIDS causes 3% 36% Children’s QuestionnaireCARE OF ILLNESS MODULE UNDER FIVE DEATHS BY CAUSE, 2000-2003

  3. Children’s QuestionnaireCARE OF ILLNESS MODULE Purpose • To provide basic data to calculate indicators on • Treatment for diarrhoeal disease • Treatment and care seeking for pneumonia • Sanitary means of excreta disposal for young children

  4. Children’s QuestionnaireCARE OF ILLNESS MODULE Background Acute Respiratory Infection • WHO defines cases of suspected pneumonia as children reported to have an illness with a cough accompanied by fast and/or difficult breathing. • Simple cases of cold with a blocked nose are filtered out with a second question: “Were these symptoms due to a problem in the chest or a blocked nose?” • If a local term for “rapid breathing” exists, using that term may be the simplest way to obtain cases of ARI that need to be seen by a health care provider.

  5. Children’s QuestionnaireCARE OF ILLNESS MODULE Background Diarrhoeal Disease • WHO and UNICEF recommend that children with diarrhoeal disease be treated with either Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) or increased fluids AND continued feeding. • Treatment recommendations and indicators have changed over the last ten years. • New indicator has been added.

  6. Children’s QuestionnaireCARE OF ILLNESS MODULE Indicators Treatment for dehydrating diarrhea: • ORT use • Home management of diarrhoea • Received ORT or increased fluids, and continued feeding Treatment for suspected pneumonia: • Antibiotic treatment of pneumonia • Care seeking for pneumonia Hygiene: • Sanitary disposal of child’s feces

  7. Children’s QuestionnaireCARE OF ILLNESS MODULE Preparation • Definition of appropriate health provider should be defined at country level. • Adapt for country-specific term used for the ORS packet and for the pre-packaged ORS fluid. If no pre-packaged ORS is available in the country, delete this category. • Include country-specific recommended home fluid. Ingredients promoted by the government for making the recommended home fluid should be reflected in this category.

  8. Adapt locally to include the country-specific term used for the ORS packet Adapt locally to include the country-specific recommended home fluid. Ingredients promoted by the government for making the recommended home fluid should be reflected in this category. Adapt locally to include the country-specific terms used for the pre-packaged ORS fluid. Adapt locally to include the common names/brands for pre-packaged ORS fluids available in the country. If no pre-packaged ORS is available in the country, delete this category.

  9. Develop categories to include locally-used antibiotics, then pre-test
