Abstract:
Rapid collection of data is of utmost importance in monitoring and evaluation of activities of public health importance. Among others techniques, 30 by 7 cluster sampling and Lot quality assurance sampling(LQAS) methods have been described in literature for this purpose. However, LQAS is often sparingly used in most settings, undermining its importance as a effective epidemiological tool in public health practice. To some extent LQAS is inadequately understood and even less emphasized method, especially in the postgraduate teaching and training. In this paper we aim to explain the use, method and application of LQAS in public health settings as well as discuss common pitfalls to avoid while planning and drawing inferences based on data collected through LQAS.
