Factors associated with the use of the ORS-ZINC kit among diarrheic children under five in Benin

The ORS-Zinc kit is recognised as an effective treatment for diarrhoea, but its use remains low, especially among children under five years of age, where diarrhoeal diseases are the leading cause of death in developing countries. The present investigation aims to study the use of the ORS-Zinc kit in cases of diarrhoea among children under five in Benin. It results from the exploitation of data from the 2017/18 Benin Demographic and Health Survey. The analyses were based on a sample of 1342 children under five years of age who had diarrhoea in the last two weeks preceding the survey. After conducting a descriptive analysis (univariate, bivariate and multivariate), an explanatory analysis was conducted. The results indicate that the explanatory factors for the use of the ORS-Zinc kit among diarrhoea-stricken children under five years of age are: the father's involvement in health-related decision-making, the mother's level of education, her religion, her exposure to the media and the type of recourse in case of diarrhoea. These results suggest a strengthening of dialogue between spouses for effective health decision making in the household; the multiplication of awareness campaigns for the population on the importance of using health services with a particular emphasis on social marketing of the ORS-Zinc kit. Measures aimed at universal schooling could help.
