* CONSENT STATEMENT
As part of this survey, we are studying anemia among women, children and adolescents. Anemia is a serious health problem that usually results from poor nutrition, infection, or chronic disease. This survey will assist the government to develop programs to prevent and treat anemia.

We request that you (and all children under age 6, and all male and never married female adolescents aged 10-19) to participate in the anemia testing part of this survey and give a few drops of blood from a finger. The test uses disposable sterile instruments that are clean and completely safe. The blood will be analyzed with new equipment and the results of the test will be given to you right after the blood is taken. The results will be kept confidential.

May I now ask that you (and NAME OF CHILD[REN]/ADOLESCENT) participate in the anemia test. However, if you decide not to have the test done, it is your right and we will respect your decision. Now please tell me if you agree to have the test(s) done.

Description

Definition

For women who gave birth in the three to five years before the survey, BIOASSTMEASCODE (V421) reports the code assigned to the assistant measurer of their children's height and weight. Codes are sample-specific; a given numeric code in one sample refers to a different person than the same numeric code in another sample.

Using the measurer (BIOMEASCODE (V420)) and assistant measurer codes, researchers can evaluate whether the quality of responses (e.g., the number of "out of range" cases) depended on the person measuring the children.
