INTRODUCTION AND INFORMED CONSENT

Hello. My name is ______ and I work for the National Institute of Statistics. We are conducting a survey on malaria throughout Madagascar. The information that we collect will help the country plan health services. Your household has been selected for the survey. I would like to ask you some questions about your household. The survey usually takes between 10 and 20 minutes.

All the information that you give us is strictly confidential and will not be shared with anyone other than members of the survey team. You do not have to participate in this survey but we hope you will agree to answer questions because your opinion is very important. If you decide not to participate, there will be no changes in the services you can receive from health programs. If I happen to ask a question that you do not want to answer, tell me and I will move on to the next question; you can also stop the interview at any time. If you would like more information about any aspect of the survey, you can contact the people whose names are on this card.

STATEMENT OF INFORMED CONSENT FOR ANEMIA TEST

In this survey, we are asking children all over the country to participate in anemia testing. Anemia is a serious health problem which is generally the result of poor nutrition, infections or illnesses. This survey will help the government develop programs to prevent and treat anemia.
We are asking all children born in 2006 or later to participate in anemia testing included in this survey by giving a couple drops of blood from a finger. For this test we use clean and risk-free supplies. It has never been used before and will be thrown out after each test.

The blood will be tested for anemia immediately and will be destroyed. The results will be given to you right away. The results are strictly confidential. If the test indicates that (NAME OF CHILD) has severe anemia, we will refer him/her to the nearest health centre for care.

Do you have any questions about the anemia test?
You can say 'yes' to the test or you can say 'no'.
It's your decision.

Will you allow (NAME OF CHILD/CHILDREN) to participate in anemia testing?

STATEMENT OF INFORMED CONSENT FOR MALARIA TESTING

As part of this survey, we are asking children all over the country to participate in testing to see whether or not they have malaria. Malaria is a serious health problem caused by a parasite transmitted by a mosquito bite. This survey will help the government to develop programs to prevent malaria.

We are asking all children born in 2006 or later to participate in the malaria test included in this survey by giving a few drops of blood from a finger. For this test, we use clean and risk-free equipment. It has never been used before and will be thrown away after each test. (We will use the blood from the same blood draw and same finger as for the anemia test).

A drop of blood will be tested for malaria immediately and you will know the results right away. The other drops of blood will be tested later in a laboratory for more detailed malaria analysis. The laboratory test results will not be given to you. The results are strictly confidential.

We would like to have your consent to test (NAME OF CHILD) immediately for malaria and to use several drops of blood for additional malaria testing in the central laboratory.

Do you have any questions about the malaria testing?
You can say 'yes' to the test or you can say 'no'. It is your decision.

Do you give (NAME OF CHILD/CHILDREN) permission to participate in the malaria test?

TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN TESTING POSITIVE FOR MALARIA

IF MALARIA PARASITEMIA IS POSITIVE: The diagnostic test for malaria shows that (CHILD'S NAME) has malaria. We can give you free medicine. This medicine is called ACT. ACT is very effective and in a few days (CHILD'S NAME) fever will be gone as well as any other symptoms. ACT is also very safe. However, every medication has some side effects, and this medication may cause some. The most common side effects are dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite, and palpitations.

It is your decision.

Please tell me if you accept this medication or not to treat (CHILD'S NAME). If you do not accept it, I will refer (CHILD'S NAME) to the nearest health centre for treatment.

High fever
Convulsions, coma
Fast breathing or difficulty breathing
Is not able to drink or nurse

STATEMENT FOR CHILDREN TESTING POSITIVE FOR MALARIA AND SEVERE ANEMIA AND/OR ANY SYMPTOM FROM Q. 58B

The diagnostic test for malaria shows that (CHILD'S NAME) has malaria. But he/she also has (SEVERE ANEMIA Q. 58 AND/OR ONE OR MORE SYMPTOMS FROM Q. 59), that is to say that he/she is seriously ill. I cannot give him/her a treatment, but you should take him/her immediately to a doctor or health agent for care.

[###translator's note: question numbers "58B", "58", and "59" are incorrect)

STATEMENT FOR CHILDREN TESTING POSITIVE FOR MALARIA AND ALREADY UNDERGOING TREATMENT

You have told me that (CHILD'S NAME) is/was being treated for malaria, however the diagnostic test for malaria shows that he/she still has malaria. I cannot give him/her a treatment, but you should take him/her to a doctor or health agent for further tests.
