Summary

This study in Bauchi, Nigeria, is testing whether giving free Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and zinc directly to homes can increase how often these treatments are used for children under 5 with diarrhea. Over 100,000 children are taking part, with some areas receiving the medicine and information upfront, while others get it later. Researchers will track treatment use over 6 to 12 months to see if this simple approach works better than the usual way of getting medicine from clinics.
