p, proportion of the study population expected to visit a recruitment healthcare facility for conditions associated with fever and other signs and symptoms (proportion captured), set at 0.2; n ₀, total minimum number of households to be interviewed in a study area assuming an infinite population;

${\displaystyle \stackrel{-}{n_{\text{0}}}}$, total minimum number of households to be interviewed in the study area assuming an infinite population and age-stratification;

${\displaystyle q}$, minimum proportion of stratification per age group, set at 0.2; DEFF, design effect, set at 1.5.
