The 2016 Ghana Malaria Indicator Survey (GMIS 2016) was the first independent Malaria Indicator Survey conducted in Ghana. In 2008 and 2014, Ghana implemented DHS surveys that included the primary malaria indicators. The 2016 GMIS used a nationally representative sample of 200 clusters and about 6000 households.
Ghana
National coverage
Urban and rural, and 10 administrative regions (Western, Central, Greater Accra, Volta, Eastern, Ashanti, Brong Ahafo, Northern, Upper East and Upper West)
The survey covered all de jure household members (usual residents), women age 15-49 years and children age 6-59 months resident in the household.
Sample survey data [ssd]
Ghana Statistical Servic
Face-to-Face[f2f]
Three types of questionnaires were used for the 2016 GMIS - the Household Questionnaire, the Woman’s Questionnaire, and the Biomarker Questionnaire. The questionnaires were adapted to reflect issues relevant to Ghana. Modifications were determined after a series of meetings with various stakeholders from the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) and other government ministries and agencies, nongovernmental organisations, and international partners. The questionnaires in English and three local Ghanaian languages (Akan, Ewe, and Ga) were programmed into tablet computers, which enabled the use of computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) for the survey.
Field data collection was conducted during a 6-week period from 3 October–1 December 2016. Twelve teams were formed, with each including a supervisor, 3 interviewers, a driver, and a health technician. Each team was allocated at least 16 clusters according to local language competency. The team spent an average of 3 days working in a cluster. Information on selected clusters and sampled households was provided to each team for easy location. When eligible respondents were absent from their homes, two or more calls were made to offer respondents the opportunity to participate in the survey. Two officers were responsible for the timely collection of slides and blood samples from the field teams to the NPHRL. In addition to the field supervisors, there were national and regional monitors who supervised field activities and assured the collection and transmission of the blood slides to the laboratory.
A total of 6,003 households were selected for the survey of which 5,929 were occupied at the time of fieldwork. Among the occupied households, 5,841 were successfully interviewed, for a response rate of 99%. In the interviewed households, 5,186 eligible women were identified for individual interview and 5,150 were successfully interviewed, for a response rate of 99%.
