Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to assess how free distribution and preemptive home delivery of oral rehydration salts (ORS) by community health workers affects ORS use. The investigators will measure the impact of the combination of the two interventions (free distribution + pre-emptive home delivery) as well as the impact of each intervention separately (free distribution without home delivery and pre-emptive home delivery without free distribution).
