Questions and instructions

Literal question

344) ASK CONSENT FOR ANAEMIA TEST FROM PARENT/OTHER ADULT IDENTIFIED IN 343 AS RESPONSIBLE FOR NEVER IN UNION WOMEN AGE 15-17.

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

For the anaemia 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 each test. The blood will be tested for anaemia immediately, and the result will be told to you and (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) right away for further follow up, if necessary. The result will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with anyone other than members of our survey team.

SHOW UNOPENED PACKAGE.

You can say yes to the test for (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) or you can say no. It is up to you to decide.

Do you have any questions? If you have any questions about the procedure at any time, please ask me. For more information, you may also contact the person(s) on the card that was given out at the beginning.

Will you allow (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) to take the anaemia test?
