This scenario does not occur that often but it IS possible to measure a child opposite to what they are supposed to be.
1. In the ENA for SMART ‘OPTIONS’ tab select ‘SHOWING COLUMNS FOR MEASURE, CLOTHES, AND WEIGHING VARIABLES’ followed by ‘SAVE’.
2. In the ‘DATA ENTRY ANTHROPOMETRY’ tab enter “l” for length and “h” for height in this column if a child was not measured according to standard protocol. For example, if a child was measured lying down when they should have been measured standing up, or vice versa, you will indicate this in this column. Only enter H or L if the child was measured opposite to protocol (indicating how the child was actually measured). For example, if a child is 94 cm but he was measured lying down (malaria, sick, etc), an “l” should be entered in the corresponding box of the Measure column. Leave this column blank if child was measured correctly. ENA for SMART will automatically apply a correction factor of 0.7cm.
3. Make a note of this on the cluster control form and the questionnaire.
