Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Decisions about whether to include specific modules or biomarkers are mostly, as you suggest, made by the countries rather than by DHS or USAID. Considerations include the extra cost of data collection, whether there is a pool of potential biomarker specialists available to go into the field, the availability of laboratories to do the hemoglobin analysis, the perceived severity of anemia as a health issue, the existence of other data that would meet the country's needs, and other priorities.
