I do not see a SPA section in the user forum , but will post here since this question relates to malaria diagnostic testing in SPA sick child observation.

The Malawi SPA preliminary report is now available, but not the specific SPA questionnaire for Malawi. Was the sick child observation revised to record the result of the malaria diagnostic test, and if so, how is this done? Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Also, when is the final report and dataset expected to become public?

With many thanks
Emily

Dear Emily,
The final report and the data will not be available until they have had their final seminar in-country. Regarding your specific question "Was the sick child observation revised to record the result of the malaria diagnostic test, and if so, how is this done?" I am checking with one of our experts and will get back to you as soon we can.
Thank you!

Dear User,
Here is a response from Dr. Paul Ametepi:
Attached is a portion of the questionnaire referencing the area you inquired about. These are questions asked to the provider. We expect the final report to be published by September.
Thank you!
