Description

Definition
ORSNE2 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a private dispensary as a source for oral rehydration solution (ORS). ORS is typically used to treat dehydration in individuals with diarrhea. This response is country-specific to Niger.

Some samples in the "ORS" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

ORSNE2 is combined with ORSNE1 (private pharmacy) and ORSNE3 (private pharmaceutic depot) in ORSPRIVDRUG (all private, formal drug vendors) for the 1992 Niger sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ORSNE2 are encouraged to review ORSPRIVDRUG for a more comprehensive response category.
