Something different :) But I think I see what you’re getting at.
Total distribution was to ~4000 households (families) across the 4 wards. The question on usage by age group of ‘our’ ORS was asked at follow-up, with approx. 2400 HHs surveyed. Of the ORS sachets used by HHs in that sample, the data in the table “% Clear Solutions ORS sachets used, % by age group” expresses who (by age group) used them.
I think you’re asking what proportion of all the ORS provided was used (1) by anyone, and (2) by under-5s. This is a good point, as it gives an idea of what revisit cadence, or potential increase in packets given-per-child, would be needed for continuous coverage.
Said sample of HHs reported 3317 co-packs received (ie. 6634 ORS sachets, 2 per co-pack), with 2046 sachets reported used (with ~80%, varying by ward, used for under-5s). So 2046⁄6634 = 30.8% of the ORS sachets distributed were reported used within the 6-week follow-up period. We’ll prep this also for addition to the report—thank you!
