Summary 

The Malawi National Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) 2010 is the first MIS conducted in Malawi.

The sample included 140 enumeration areas with 96 rural areas and 44 urban areas. For the 2010 MIS, 2,891 women ages 15-49 were interviewed from 3,478 households. Additionally, biomarker data were collected for 2,523 children under 5.
