Should the app generate incomplete Household question sets for neighboring households? #12

Closed gmcressman closed 6 years ago

The Household question set asks for an estimate of the number of neighboring households within a certain distance of the index case household. If the protocol recommends screening/treating neighboring households, then should the app generate an incomplete Household question set for each neighboring household

No. After consideration, I do not believe the app should create incomplete Household records for surrounding households for the following reasons:

  1. The number of surrounding households is an estimate. The actual number could be more or less.
  2. The user can create new household records for surrounding households as needed. These can be linked to the same malaria case ID.

Would it be useful to suggest the malaria case ID to the user? That lead to as many data quality problems as it could prevent.
