SAMPLE and BIOMARKERS• National sample of 8,400 households• In all households: anthropometric measurements and hemoglobin
testing among women age 15-49 and children < 5• In 1/3 households: syphilis testing among all women age 15-49 and
men age 15-59• In 1/3 households: testing for immunity to tetanus among women and
children <5, and immunity (or exposure) to measles among children <5
Madagascar DHS 2003-04: Overview
Measles/Tetanus testing was entirely part of the DHS• Blood samples were collected by the DHS teams• Testing in the labs was done according to a protocol developed with
and approved by DHS• Results were analyzed in collaboration with the labs and reported in the
Madagascar DHS report
Capillary blood from finger prick was collected on filter paper (DBS)
•One DBS was sent to the Pasteur Institute in Antananarivo for measles testing
•One DBS was sent to the Baxter Health Care Lab (MD, USA) for tetanus testing
Madagascar DHS 2003-04: Methodology
COVERAGE FOR TETANUS/MEASLES TESTING
Blood samples were collected and tested for:
• 91% of 2,817 eligible women• 86% of 1,917 eligible children

SAMPLE and BIOMARKERS• National sample of 18,171 households. • In all households: anthropometric measurements of women age 15-49 and children < 5
In 1/2 households: • Anemia testing among women age 15-49, men age 15-59, and children age 6-59 months• HIV testing women age 15-49 and men age 15-59• Malaria testing (RDT and thick smear) among children age 6-59 months• DBS collected from children 6-59 months for PCR test for diagnosis of malaria and for
immunity to Tetanus, Rubella, Measles, Mumps, Polio and Varicella.
DR Congo DHS 2013-14: Overview (1)
DR Congo DHS 2013-14: Overview (2)
Immunity testing was not entirely part
of the DHS• Blood samples were collected by the DHS teams• DHS developed programs to log-in the DBS and record the test results, and
merged the testing data and survey data • But testing in the labs was done independently without any involvement of
DHS• Initially basic test results were supposed to be reported in the DRC-DHS
report released in September 2014. No result was available at that time.
Capillary blood from finger prick was collected on filter paper (DBS)
The filter papers were sent to UCLA-DRC laboratory at the National Laboratory for Biomedical Research (INRB) in Kinshasa, were they
were logged in and divided in three:•One DBS remained at the UCLA/INRB lab in Kinshasa for Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella, and Tetanus testing•One was sent to CDC Atlanta for polio testing
