The lessons target mothers and caregivers of children under age five, a group that is at particular risk of death if infected. The module shares information about symptoms and risks; what families can do to prevent infection; how, when, and where to seek care; and what actions to take in the aftermath of an outbreak.

                                Poor  sanitary  conditions  in  disaster-stricken  areas  result  in  higher  risk  for  diarrheal  illness  in  vulnerable  populations,  especially  children.  This  disease  negatively impacts the nutritional status of affected children and causes significant morbidity  and  mortality.  Early  di

                                        agnosis  and  treatment  are  thus  essential  to  reduce  the  impact  of  diarrheal  diseases  on  people  affected  by  disasters.  Early  identification of cases allows the implementation of measures needed to prevent or lessen outbreaks that can occur in displaced populations in this context. The use  of  primary  care  management  tools,  such  as  the  Integrated  Management  of  Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy is highly important.This  module  will  first  discuss  diarrheal  diseases  and  their  management,  and  dehydration and its treatments.
