Description

DIATRSUNKEYE indicates whether the woman respondent said, in response to an open-ended question, that sunken eyes indicated a child sick with diarrhea should be taken to a health facility or health worker for treatment. This response sometimes did not appear on the survey form, but rather was constructed from written-in "other" responses.
