Questions and instructions

Literal question
MINOR RESPONDENT CONSENT FOR ANEMIA TEST

219. ASK CONSENT FOR ANEMIA TEST FROM RESPONDENT.

As part of this survey, we are asking people all over the country to take an anemia test. 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.

For the anemia testing, we will need a few drops of blood from a finger. The equipment used to take the blood is clean and completely safe. It has never been used before and will be thrown away after we take you blood. The blood will be tested for anemia immediately, and the result will be told to you and (NAME OF PARENT OR RESPONSIBLE ADULT) right away. The result will be kept strictly confidential and will not be share with anyone other than members of our survey team.

Do you have any questions?
You can say yes or no. It is up to you to decide.
Will you take the anemia test?
