DESCRIPTION

The survey assessed changes in behavior and attitudes related to childhood diarrhea and zinc since 2009 and also asked new questions to enable SHOPS to better understand determinants of zinc use and therefore develop more effective programs. In addition SHOPS conducted a formative survey among public and private healthcare providers in the seven departments of Benin to assess prescription practices for, as well as knowledge and attitudes around, treatment of childhood diarrhea.
