The household acceptance of oral rehydration solution salts was studied in a cohort of 75 rural mothers over a two year period. The study was carried out in a rural Mexican village between August 1985 and February 1988. There were 636 episodes of diarrhea, with an average of four episodes per child per year. There were no deaths due to diarrhea or its complications and only 2% of these episodes required the use of parenteral solutions. Acceptance of oral rehydration remained around 50% during subsequent bouts of diarrhea. Variables such as a medium high socioeconomic level of the family, and the reading of journals and newspapers by the mother and the presence of water supply in the home were significantly associated with the acceptance of oral rehydration treatment. On the other hand, families classified as traditional rejected the procedure with significantly higher frequency. The data presented indicates the need for redesigning oral rehydration, treatment programs to increase their impact at the community level.
