Questions and instructions

Literal question
112a) Ask for consent for the malaria test from 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 a malaria test. Malaria is a serious health problem caused by a parasite transmitted by mosquito bites. This survey will assist the government to develop and set up programs to prevent and treat malaria.

We ask that all children born in 2012 or later 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. (We will use the blood from the anemia test).

The blood will be tested for malaria immediately, and the result will be told to you right away. A few drops will be preserved on a slide or two and sent to a lab to be tested. You will not receive the results of the lab test. 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 malaria test?
