What about the LQAS methodology?
Lot quality assurance sampling (LQAS) is a random sampling methodology, originally developed in the 1920, as a method of quality control in industrial production. It was originally designed for use in manufacturing, where it provided a way to perform statistically valid quality-assurance testing at minimum cost. In the context of modern research, LQAS has become an accepted sampling method in the fields of public health and international development.
What about malaria?
About 3.3 billion people, half of the world’s population, are at risk of malaria. Sustaining malaria control efforts is an investment in development. Take a look at the “10 facts on malaria” realized by the World Health Organization.
