ACT = artemisinin-based combination therapy; CHW = community health worker; PHU = peripheral health unit.

^*Appropriate treatment indicates ACT (fever), ORS and zinc (diarrhea), amoxicillin or cotrimoxazole (pneumonia).

^†We consider the sample sizes too small to ascertain a significant difference.

^‡Numbers too small to calculate.
