PIP: In developing country settings, health questionnaires have the potential to facilitate rapid diagnosis and early intervention. This methodology has been used, for example, to screen for schistosomiasis in China, Africa, and Brazil. Data can be gathered directly from individuals, through administrative channels (e.g., health centers and schools), or from secondary sources (e.g., censuses and surveys) obtained for other purposes. Costs are reduced and the refusal rate is lower than that associated with more invasive techniques. The questionnaire must be based on a sound knowledge of disease risk factors and symptoms. A diagnosis can be derived from a completed questionnaire through use of expert algorithms, medical reviews, or statistical methods. Collaboration between researchers and potential users of these simplified techniques is required to ensure the development of culturally appropriate tools and facilitate their adoption.
