Literal question

ADULT RESPONDENT CONSENT FOR ADDITIONAL TESTING

314. ASK CONSENT FOR ADDITIONAL TESTING.

We ask you to allow the National Statistical Office to store part of the blood sample at the laboratory for additional tests or research. We are not certain about what additional tests might be done.

The blood sample will not have any name or other data attached that could identify you. You do not have to agree. If you do not want the blood sample stored for additional testing, you can still participate in the HIV testing in this survey.

Will you allow us to keep the blood sample stored for additional testing?

Description

Definition

For male household members who were potential subjects for height, weight, and hemoglobin measurement, HWMMARSTAT (HB60) indicates whether they had ever been married or in a union.

This variable was typically used to help DHS personnel determine from whom consent could be obtained, in cases where the male household member was under age 18 and could not grant consent himself.
