INTRODUCTION AND CONSENT REQUEST
Hello. My name is ______. I am working for the National Institute of Statistics (INS) in collaboration with the National Program in the Fight Against Malaria (PNLP). We are conducting a national survey on malaria in Niger. The information we collect will help the government to improve health services in general and those in the fight against malaria in particular. Your household was selected for the survey. The questions usually take about 10 to 20 minutes. All of the answers you give us will be confidential and will not be shared with anyone other than members of our survey team. You don't have to be in the survey, but we hope you will agree to answer my questions since your views are important. If I ask you any question you don't want to answer, just let me know and I will go on to the next question or you can stop the interview at any time.
In case you need more information about the survey, you may contact the person listed on the card that has already been given to your household.
Do you have any questions to ask me?
May I begin the interview now?
