We are aware that many of the questions in the DHS Questionnaires cut across numerous subject areas, however, each existing question in the questionnaires has been classified under just one topic for purposes of the Forum.
Rest assured that discussions of questionnaire content will be conducted among all relevant subject experts (and not be limited by which folder questions have been categorized).
Input to the review process has been fabulous, thanks.

We certainly appreciate your thoroughness. The DHS has classified the questions pertaining to malaria prevention during pregnancy (and all malaria related questions) under "Infectious Diseases", so we have moved posts about IPTp to the "Infectious Diseases" folder to follow the Guidelines established for the portal.
How DHS has classified existing questions is defined in the "Existing questions organized by category" document located in the READ ME folder (to guide folks to the appropriate folder for their post). Each topic folder also contains a document that lists which questions are included in that folder - specifically because we realize some sections of the questionnaire cut across more than one topic, and numerous questions cut across several areas of interest.
Best regards,

We also noticed that this question is colored pink to indicate it is only used in malaria endemic countries. However the other fever treatment questions are used everywhere. In fact, there should be no use of antimalarials without a test first, so anywhere where antimalarials might be dispensed; we would want to know about a confirmatory test first. Thus, this question should be standard along with the questions on treatments.

a. When you visited ANC for a check-up, were you feeling ill (fever, cough, etc.).
b. If YES, were you treated in the ANC unit or asked to go elsewhere in the facility for treatment.
