Data on malaria are collected in the DHS, MIS, and SPA surveys and sometimes in AIS surveys.
|
| Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) |
Since 2000, DHS (and some AIS) surveys have collected data on ownership and use of mosquito nets, treatment of fever in children, and intermittent preventive treatment of pregnant women. In recent years, additional questions on indoor residual spraying, as well as biomarker testing for anemia and malaria, have been added in many countries.
The standard DHS includes the following malaria indicators:
- Household ownership of mosquito nets
- Use of mosquito nets by children
- Use of mosquito nets by pregnant women
- Use of intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) by pregnant women
- Use of indoor residual spraying (IRS) of insecticides against mosquitoes
- Prevalence and prompt treatment of fever
- Type and timing of antimalarial drugs
- Anemia in children (in selected surveys)
- Prevalence of malaria infection (in selected surveys)

| Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) |
 | The Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) contains the same malaria questions found in the standard DHS, but
is packaged in a shorter, stand-alone survey allowing for faster, less expensive monitoring of key malaria indicators.
Biomarker testing for anemia and malaria can also be included in the MIS.

| Service Provision Assessment (SPA) Survey |
The standard Maternal and Child Health SPA includes a summary of the availability of malaria-related services, including availability of antimalarial medicines, treatment guidelines and protocols, and laboratory diagnostic capacity. The SPA can also assess malaria treatment in sick children, prevention services among pregnant women, and malaria treatment services in HIV-positive persons. The SPA also reports on provider training in malaria, and some countries SPA surveys collect data on distribution of insecticide-treated nets. Learn more about the Standard SPA Survey>> |
