*Significantly different from 1 with p < 0.05
*The final model measuring the probability of ‘good’ diarrhea management on source of care was adjusted by the following variables
• predisposing characteristics -child’s age, mother’s age, child’s gender, mother’s marital status and education, number of children under five living in household
• enabling resources- wealth quintile, rural or urban location, if distance is a problem in receiving health care, participating in decision making, household improved water access
• need characteristic -whether there was blood in the child’s stool
