The physician-based assessment of ALRI and COPD is unlikely to be feasible for most small- to medium-scale projects and programmes, unless they partner with a research or governmental agency interested in conducting a thorough health study. On the other hand, a combination of qualitative methods (such as key informant interviews and focus group discussions) and a questionnaire-based health assessment can yield results of great value to both the community and the implementers, as well as relevant insights for public health. The presentation is complemented by a practical exercise entitled "Health and well-being: questionnaires in practice". This exercise encourages participants to try out example child and women's health questionnaires and to identify challenges in relation.
