Disease-specific rate changes (such as for malaria or HIV/AIDS) are far more complex. Malaria rates tend to have marked seasonal variations, even in locations that have year-round parasite transmission. Therefore, the timing and frequency of community monitoring surveys are critical to obtaining valid data. Similarly, collecting community HIV data is a highly sensitive process that should be performed by or in conjunction with the relevant public health authorities. However, disease-prevention efforts (such as for malaria or HIV) should be strongly encouraged. Many projects enthusiastically participate in and support such efforts.
Some projects may benefit from host-country monitoring systems, such as demographic surveillance systems (DSS), or other monitoring information gathered as part of a country-specific HIA policy and infrastructure. But these types of monitoring systems typically are not appropriate or realistic for most small-to-medium projects, whose needs may be met by a few well-chosen indicators, such as anthropometric measurements, village- level disease-specific surveys (malaria), immunization rates, symptom prevalence surveys, anemia prevalence, changes in bed-net usage, drinking-water source and access, and toilet type and access.
