Interviewer instructions

Fever is a symptom of malaria, and in areas where malaria is prevalent, mothers are advised to take action to treat for malaria as soon as fever begins.

When asking this question, insert the name of the day of the interview. For example, if the interview is taking place on a Tuesday, ask: "IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, THAT IS, SINCE TUESDAY OF THE WEEK BEFORE LAST, HAS (name) BEEN ILL WITH A FEVER?"

Circle the code corresponding to the answer given. Circle the code corresponding to 'Yes' only if the child has been ill with a fever at any time in the 2 weeks prior to the date of the interview. If the child has not been ill with a fever or the respondent doesn't know, skip to ML10.
