Description

Definition
ORSPRIVDRUG (V424K) indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a private pharmacy, drug store, or dispensary as a source for oral rehydration solution (ORS).

ORS is a typically used to treat dehydration in individuals with diarrhea.

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.

For example, a given sample might include multiple categories for different types of private, formal drug vendors that could be combined to create a more comprehensive response category. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in ORSPUBHC.
