Questions and instructions

Literal question
210) ASK CONSENT FOR ANEMIA TEST TO THE PARENT/OTHER ADULT IDENTIFIED IN 209 AS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHILD.

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 and set up programs to prevent and treat anemia.

We ask that all children born in 2009 or later take part in anemia 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 anemia immediately, and the result will be told to you right away. The result will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with anyone other than member of our survey team.

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

Will you allow (NAME OF CHILD) to participate in the anemia test?
