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 test will assist the government to develop programs to prevent and treat anemia. We ask that children born in 2014 or later take part in anemia testing in this survey and give a few drops of blood from a finger or heel. The equipment used to take 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 will be told to you right away. The result will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with anyone other than members of our survey team.

310. ASK CONSENT FOR BLOOD PRESSURE FROM PARENT/OTHER ADULT IDENTIFIED IN 309 AS RESPONSIBLE FOR NEVER MARRIED WOMEN AGE 15-17.

I would like to measure (NAME OF ADOLESCENT)'s blood pressure. This will be done three times, with an interval of about five minutes between measurements. This is a harmless procedure. Blood pressure measurement is used to find out if a person has high blood pressure. If not treated, high blood pressure may eventually cause serious damage to the heart. The results of this blood pressure measurement will be given to you and (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) after the measurement process is completed. The results of the blood pressure measurement will be explained to you. If (NAME OF ADOLESCENT)'s blood pressure is high, we will suggest that (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) consult a health facility or doctor since we cannot provide any further testing or treatment during the survey You can also decide at any time not to participate in the blood pressure measurement. The result will be kept strictly 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 for (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) or you can say no. It is up to you to decide.
Will you allow me to measure (NAME OF ADOLESCENT)'s blood pressure?

As part of this survey, we also are asking people all over the country to take a test for malaria, HbA1c, and vitamin D. Malaria is a common cause of fever and can be treated with medicines. Malaria can be present in patients with or sometimes without fever. It is important to find out the type of malaria and whether the currently available drugs will be effective for treating persons with malaria. The second test, HbA1c, a form hemoglobin, is done to estimate the three-month average blood sugar levels to find out if the blood sugar levels are controlled in diabetic patients taking medicines. Vitamin D levels in the blood are measured to detect vitamin D deficiency, which is very common in India. Vitamin D deficiency causes brittleness of bones and can lead to fractures.

The tests will be done at national level laboratories to obtain advanced information on these conditions and will be used by the government to improve health programmes. For the test, we need a few (more) drops of blood from a finger. The equipment used to take the blood is clean and completely safe. It has never been used before and will be thrown away after each test. No names will be attached and we will not be able to tell you the test results. No one else will be able to know (NAME OF ADOLESCENT)'s test results either. Information regarding care to be taken in case of fever and diabetes will be given along with a referral letter to the nearest health care facility for diagnosis and treatment. Information on ways to prevent vitamin D deficiency will also be provided.

Do you have any questions?
You can say yes to the test, or you can say no. It is up to you to decide.
Will you allow (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) to take the tests?

410. ASK CONSENT FOR BLOOD PRESSURE FROM PARENT/OTHER ADULT IDENTIFIED IN 409 AS RESPONSIBLE FOR NEVER MARRIED MEN AGE 15-17.

I would like to measure (NAME OF ADOLESCENT)'s blood pressure. This will be done three times, with an interval of about five minutes between measurements. This is a harmless procedure. Blood pressure measurement is used to find out if a person has high blood pressure. If not treated, high blood pressure may eventually cause serious damage to the heart. The results of this blood pressure measurement will be given to you and (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) after the measurement process is completed. The results of the blood pressure measurement will be explained to you. If (NAME OF ADOLESCENT)s blood pressure is high, we will suggest that (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) consult a health facility or doctor since we cannot provide any further testing or treatment during the survey. You can also decide at any time not to participate in the blood pressure measurement. The result will be kept strictly 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 for (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) or you can say no. It is up to you to decide.
Will you allow me to measure (NAME OF ADOLESCENT)'s blood pressure?

As part of this survey we are also asking people all over the country to take a test for malaria, HbA1c, and vitamin D. Malaria is a common cause of fever and can be treated with medicines. Malaria can be present in patients with or sometimes without fever. It is important to find out the type of malaria and whether the currently available drugs will be effective for treating persons with malaria. The second test, HbA1c, a form of hemoglobin, is done to estimate the three-month average blood sugar levels to find out if the blood sugar levels are controlled in diabetic patients taking medicines. Vitamin D levels in the blood are measured to detect Vitamin D deficiency, which is very common in India. Vitamin D deficiency causes brittleness of bones and can lead to factures.

The tests will be done at national level laboratories to obtain advanced information on these conditions and will be used by the Government to health programmes. For the tests, we need a few (more) drops of blood from a finger. The equipment used to take the blood is clean and completely safe. It has never been used before and will be thrown away after each test. No names will be attached and we will not be able to tell you the test results. No one else will be able to know (NAME OF ADOLESCENT)'s test results either. Information regarding care t be taken in case of fever and diabetes will be given along with a referral letter to the nearest health care facility for diagnosis and treatment. Information on ways to prevent vitamin D deficiency will also be provided.

Do you have any questions?
You can say yes to the test, or you can say no. It is up to you to decide.
Will you allow (NAME OF ADOLESCENT) to take the tests?
