The 2006-07 Angola Malaria Indicator Survey (AMIS) is the first survey in Angola designed to collect nationally representative information on malaria-specific indicators, as part of the MEASURE DHS project. The objectives of the AMIS were to assess household ownership of mosquito nets and their use by children under five and pregnant women; to assess the coverage and timing of indoor residual spraying (IRS); to estimate the prevalence of anemia, malaria, and fever (and the type and timing of treatment) among children under age five, women of reproductive age, and pregnant women; and to assess the use of intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) for malaria among pregnant women. In addition, the survey included questions to assess who attended a woman’s last delivery and where that delivery took place.
