Questions and instructions

Literal question
212. FOR ADOLESCENTS AGE 15-17 YEARS:
ASK CONSENT FROM THE PARENT OR RESPONSIBLE ADULT FOR THE ANEMIA TEST.

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 in developing programs to prevent and treat anemia. For this test, we need a few drops of blood from a finger. The equipment used in taking 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 told to you right away. The result is confidential and will not be shared with anyone other than members of our survey team.

Do you have any questions?
You can say 'Yes' to the test, or you can say 'No'. It is your decision.
Now, will you allow (name of adolescent age 15-17 years) to take the anemia test?
