The Acceptability and Impact of Diarrheal Etiology Prediction (DEP) Algorithm

This is a randomized crossover study, where clinicians will be randomized to periods where they will use a rehydration calculator application with or without the Diarrheal Etiology Prediction (DEP) algorithm. The crossover will include a washout period to reduce carryover effect. The study will be conducted over a 9-week period. The Investigators will use a random number generator to randomize clinicians to DEP (use of the etiology calculator) or control arm (use of a previously-tested rehydration calculator) within site for the first 4 weeks. After the first 4 weeks, there will be 1-week washout period without decision support, after which each clinician will cross-over to the other arm for the next 4 weeks. The Investigators will enroll diarrhea-treating clinicians who treat children presenting with acute diarrhea at sites in Bangladesh and Mali. Utah investigators will only analyze de-identified data provided by our collaborators in Bangladesh and Mali.
