The Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance
                (CHAMPS) program is a 7-country network (as of December 2018)
                established by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to
                identify the causes of death in children in communities with
                high rates of under-5 mortality. The program carries out both
                mortality and pregnancy surveillance, and mortality surveillance
                employs minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) to gather
                small samples of body fluids and tissue from the bodies of
                children who have died. While this method will lead to greater
                knowledge of the specific causes of childhood mortality, the
                procedure is in tension with cultural and religious norms in
                many of the countries where CHAMPS works-Bangladesh, Ethiopia,
                Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, and South Africa.
                Participatory Inquiry Into Community Knowledge of Child Health
                and Mortality Prevention (PICK-CHAMP) is a community entry
                activity designed to introduce CHAMPS to communities and gather
                initial perspectives on alignments and tensions between CHAMPS
                activities and community perceptions and priorities.
                Participants' responses revealed medium levels of overall
                alignment in all sites (with the exception of South Africa,
                where alignment was high) and medium levels of tension (with the
                exception of Ethiopia, where tension was high). Alignment was
                high and tension was low for pregnancy surveillance across all
                sites, whereas Ethiopia reflected low alignment and high tension
                for MITS. Participants across all sites indicated that support
                for MITS was possible only if the procedure did not interfere
                with burial practices and rituals.
