ANEMIA AND SYPHILIS TEST FOR ADULTS

INFORMED CONSENT FOR ANEMIA TEST:

As part of this survey, we would like to know anemia levels for children, women and men. Anemia is a serious health problem that is caused by poor nutrition and/or an infection. The results of this survey will help the government of Madagascar to put in place programs to treat and prevent anemia.

We would like you to participate in the anemia test by giving a few drops of blood from your finger. For this test, we use sterilized, individual instruments that are clean and risk-free. The blood will be analyzed using new equipment and the results will be given to you immediately after the blood draw. Results are confidential.

Do you have any questions?

Description

Definition
HEMOCONSENT (HW52) indicates whether permission was granted for the person's blood to be drawn and tested for hemoglobin level (as an indicator of anemia) or, if not, why not. Interviewers read a statement about hemoglobin testing and requested permission to draw and test the individual's blood for hemoglobin level; blood was drawn only if consent was given by the persons themselves (if adults) or by a parent or guardian (if a minor).
