Questions and instructions

Literal question
113) ASK CONSENT FOR MALARIA TEST FROM PARENT/OTHER ADULT RESPONSIBLE FOR CHILD

As part of this survey, we are asking people all over the country to take a malaria test. Malaria is a serious health problem that usually results from parasites transmitted by mosquito bites. This survey will assist the government to develop programs to prevent and treat malaria.

We ask that all children from 6 months old to 5 years old take part in malaria testing in this survey and give a few drops of blood from a finger or heel. The equipment used to take the blood is clean and completely safe. It has never been used before and will be thrown away after each test. The blood will be tested for malaria quickly, and the result will be told to (NAME) in fifteen minutes. The result will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with anyone other than members of our survey team.

(NAME), do you have any questions?
Will you allow (NAME OF CHILD) to participate in the malaria test?
