Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
Interviewer instructions
This set of questions (Q6566-Q6567) is asked in malaria endemic areas, and only if the child is reported to have suffered from the most common symptom of malaria, fever (question Q6551). A response of "Antimalarial medication" as treatment received is only appropriate if the child was prescribed such by a physician or other qualified health worker. If the respondent first simply answers that the child was given treatment but without specifying the type (such as simply “pill or syrup”), the interviewer should probe whether it was an antibiotic, antimalarial or other type.

If No or DK : Go to Q6568
