*Regression results for outcome Treatment with ORS in case of diarrhoea. Reference categories are age group 25-34 for mother’s age, age group 30-39 for father’s age, children below 1 year for child’s age, mothers with no education for mother’s education, poorest wealth quartile for wealth status. All models include survey-year and country-fixed effects. Columns (3) and (7) additionally include PSU fixed effects. Columns (1) to (3) include the sample with observations for mother’s age. Columns (4) to (7) include the sample with observations for mother’s and father’s age. Standard errors in parentheses.
