Surveys for which we use data on interviewer characteristics are in bold. In the 2013 MIS in Madagascar, the cities of Antananarivo Renivohitra, Antsirabe I and Fianarantsoa I as well as municipalities with an altitude higher than 1500 m were excluded from the sample as the malaria endemicity is very low in these areas. It is therefore not strictly comparable to the 2008–9 DHS. Three Northern regions in Mali (Gao, Tombouctou and Kidal) were not surveyed in the 2015 MIS (due to security issues), so these regions were similarly excluded from our analysis in the DHS 2018 (when compared to the 2015 MIS). They were not part of the 2012–2013 DHS sample. These regions were included in the sample of the 2021 MIS
