INFORMED CONSENT FOR ANAEMIA TESTING:
As part of this survey, we are studying anaemia among women, men, and children under age 6 years. Anaemia is a serious health problem that usually results from poor nutrition, infection, or chronic disease. This information will assist the government to develop programmes to prevent and treat anaemia.
We request that (you/you and (NAME OF RESPONDENT'S CHILD (REN)/CHILD(REN) IN RESPONDENT'S CARE) born in 2001 or later participate in the anaemia testing part of this survey by giving a few drops of blood from a finger. The test uses disposable sterile instruments that are clean and completely safe. The blood will be tested with new equipment and the results of the test will be given to you immediately. The results will be kept confidential.
Do you have any questions?
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND ADDRESS RESPONDENT'S/GUARDIAN'S CONCERNS.
May I now ask that (you/you and NAME OF RESPONDENT'S CHILD(REN)/CHILD(REN) IN RESPONDENT'S CARE) participate in the anaemia testing. However, if you decide not to have the test(s) done, it is your right and we will respect your decision. Now please tell me if you agree to have the test(s) done.
GO TO COLUMN 79, CIRCLE THE APPROPRIATE CODE, AND SIGN.
IF RESPONDENT IS AGE 15-17 AND NEVER MARRIED, ASK PARENT/GUARDIAN:
Now, will you tell me if you accept that (NAME OF YOUTH(S)) participate in the anaemia testing?
GO TO COLUMN 78 AND WRITE THE LINE NUMBER OF THE PARENT/GUARDIAN. ASK FOR THEIR CONSENT. IF THE PARENT/GUARDIAN DOES NOT AGREE, CIRCLE CODE '2' IN COLUMN 79 AND SIGN. IF THE PARENT/GUARDIAN AGREES, READ THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPHS TO THE YOUTH FOR HIS/HER CONSENT, RECORD THE APPROPRIATE CODE IN COLUMN 79, AND SIGN. CIRCLE CODE '1' FOR 'GRANTED' ONLY IF BOTH THE PARENT/GUARDIAN AND THE YOUTH AGREE TO THE TESTING.
INFORMED CONSENT FOR HIV TEST FOR MEN AND WOMEN:
In addition to studying anaemia, we are also studying HIV. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
In order to determine how prevalent HIV is in India, we are asking women and men throughout India to give a few drops of blood. The drops of blood will be collected from your finger (at the same time as we do your anaemia test) and sent to a laboratory for testing. To ensure complete confidentiality of the collected blood, no individual names will be attached to the blood sample. This means that no one, including me, will be able to trace the blood sample or the test result back to you. Since we are only collecting blood on a filter paper with no other identifying information, we cannot give you the result of the HIV test.
However, whether or not you choose to participate in this effort to estimate the prevalence of HIV in India, you will be given a voucher for a free HIV test at a health clinic where you can get your blood tested for HIV if you want and receive your results.
Do you have any questions?
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND ADDRESS RESPONDENT'S CONCERNS.
I hope you will agree to give a few drops of blood from your finger for this very important country-wide effort, as it will help the government to develop programmes to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS. However, if you decide not to participate, it is your right and we will respect your decision.
Do you agree to give a few drops of blood for anonymous HIV testing?
GO TO COLUMN 80 AND CIRCLE THE APPROPRIATE CODE AND SIGN.
IF RESPONDENT IS AGE 15-17 AND NEVER MARRIED, ASK THE PARENT/GUARDIAN: Now, will you tell me if you accept that (NAME OF YOUTH(S)) participate in the HIV testing?
IF THE PARENT/GUARDIAN DOES NOT AGREE, CIRCLE CODE '2' IN COLUMN 80 AND SIGN. IF THE PARENT/GUARDIAN AGREES, READ THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPHS TO THE YOUTH FOR HIS/HER CONSENT, RECORD THE APPROPRIATE CODE IN COLUMN 80, AND SIGN. CIRCLE CODE '1' FOR 'GRANTED' ONLY IF BOTH THE PARENT/GUARDIAN AND THE YOUTH AGREE TO THE TESTING.

Do you agree that the information about the level of haemoglobin in (your blood/the blood of NAME OF CHILD(REN)) may be given to the doctor?
